Strings

-----------------------------------

Hey I'm trying to manipulate the array of chars, dan, to an output of my choice. Any help or advice would be much appreciated!

NOTE: Dan starts at index 
#include 

int main(int argc, char *argv

[edit by md] Fixed the code highlighting

Using your code... are you sure that Ran starts at 17? and that 21 starts at 34? 

Also, you need to terminate your string with null characters, as otherwise you get garbage at the end of them.

I took your advice and i now have this..... i still get garbage characters though



#include 

int main(void)
{
char dan[]= "Dan              Dan              123 ";


	
void formatLine(char s[]){
	size_t i;
	char firstName[16];
	char lastName2[16];
	char score2[3];

	for(i = 0; s[i]!= ' '; i++)
	{
		firstName[i] = s[i];
	}
	firstName[i] = '\0';




	for (i = 17; s[i]!= ' '; i++)
	{
		lastName2[i-17] = s[i];
	}
	lastName2[i] = '\0';





	for(i = 34; s[i]!= ' '; i++)
	{
		score2[i-34] = s[i];
	}
	score2[i] = '\0';





	printf("%s, %s:%4s", firstName, lastName2, score2);
	}

	formatLine(dan);
	
	return 0;
}

Something looks off in the lines I left in, no?
