evaluate a sentence.
 

I am writing a program where the user inputs a string, and then that string is evaluated by the program word by word, but there is one problem, how do I break it down word by word, (i am also going to use vectors),

Split it based on the spaces, comma, and fullstop

Look at man pages for this function for extracting tokens from string

strtok, strtok_r

the sytax is
char *strtok(char *str, const char *delim);

Yes, this does work, but, how do I get Input from a user and evaluate that, not just a given statement already in the code?
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main ()
{
char str[] ="- This, a sample string.";
char * pch;
printf ("Splitting string \"%s\" into tokens:\n",str);
pch = strtok (str," ,.-");
while (pch != NULL)
{
printf ("%s\n",pch);
pch = strtok (NULL, " ,.-");
}
return 0;
}

try this function

fgets()


....
this gets a string from user........

Re: evaluate a sentence.
 

the prototype of fgets() is:
char *fgets( char *str, int num, FILE *stream );
you should do:
char buffer[100];
.............
fgets(buffer,sizeof(buffer),stdin);
to take input from user.
