Inputting and reversing multiple strings in C?












0















First time posting on this forum, however not the first time surfing through it! Quite helpful threads, now I feel it's my time to ask for some help so thanks in advance for those who can help me out.



I have the following lines of code: which upon input reverses the order of the words.



i.e.
INPUT: Hello there I am Batman
OUTPUT: Batman am I there Hello



Now I would like to allow the user to be able to input multiple string i.e. ''Hello there I am Batman'' ; ''Hello World'' ; etc. These ideally while being inputted are seperated by a semi-colen and are parsed with it.



CODE:



#include <stdio.h>

/* function prototype for utility function to
reverse a string from begin to end */
/*Function to reverse words*/
void reverseWords(char* s)
{
char* word_begin = NULL;
char* temp = s; /* temp is for word boundry */

/*STEP 1 of the above algorithm */
while (*temp) {
/*This condition is to make sure that the string start with
valid character (not space) only*/
if ((word_begin == NULL) && (*temp != ' ')) {
word_begin = temp;
}
if (word_begin && ((*(temp + 1) == ' ') || (*(temp + 1) == ''))) {
reverse(word_begin, temp);
word_begin = NULL;
}
temp++;
} /* End of while */

/*STEP 2 of the above algorithm */
reverse(s, temp - 1);
}


/* UTILITY FUNCTIONS */
/*Function to reverse any sequence starting with pointer
begin and ending with pointer end */
void reverse(char* begin, char* end)
{
char temp;
while (begin < end) {
temp = *begin;
*begin++ = *end;
*end-- = temp;
}
}

/*
int main( void )
{
int i, n;
printf("Enter no of strings:");
scanf("%i", &n);
char **str = (char **) malloc( n* sizeof(char*));

for (i = 0; i < n; i++) {
str[i] = (char*) malloc(100);
fgets(str[i],100,stdin);
}

for (i = 0; i < n; i++) {
printf("%s", str[i]);
}

for (i = 0; i < n; i++) {
free(str[i]);
}
free(str);
return 0;
}
*/

/* Driver function to test above functions */
int main()
{

char str[50];
char* temp = str;
printf("Enter a string : ");
gets(str);
reverseWords(str);
printf("%s", str);
return(0);

}

Using strtok as mentioned by one of the comments, you could do it that way:



void reverseSentence(char* sent){
char *argv[25]; // This assumes you have a max of 25 words
int argc = 0;
char* token = strtok(sent, " ");
while (token != NULL) {
argv[argc] = malloc(100); // This assumes each word is 99 characters at most
strcpy(argv[argc++], token);
token = strtok(NULL, " ");
}

for(int z = argc-1; z>=0; z--)
fprintf(stdout, "%s ", argv[z]);

fprintf(stdout, "n");

}


Warning! I did not test the code, so you may have few bugs there... like missing semi colons, variable names not matching, etc...
