c printing the actual content of string












0















I want to print a string, which name was contained by another string.
My code is this:



    int i=1;                            //forexample
char end[9];
char start[25]="kerdesek[index]."; //my question(kerdes) array
if(i==1){
melyikkerdes='A';
strcpy(vege,"a_valasz"); //the exact answer(=valasz) i want to
} //print
else if(i==2){
melyikkerdes='B';
strcpy(vege,"b_valasz");
}
else if(i==3){
melyikkerdes='C';
strcpy(vege,"c_valasz");
}
else{
melyikkerdes='D';
strcpy(vege,"d_valasz");
}
strcat(end,start);
printf("%s",start"); //i want to print the value of the
//concatenated string here


My program prints:



kerdesek[index].a_valasz


Do you have any solution? .

  • from my sturct (kerdesek[index].a_valasz) i have to print "apple", but it only prints the name of the path, not the exact string, that the path contains

  • You are using end without initializing it.

  • i is hard coded to 1, then you concatenate "a_valasz" to "kerdesek[index]." giving your answer, so... it is doing what you are telling it to.

C has no way to evalutate the contents of a string as an expression. You may be able to do what you want with pointers, however:



int i=1;                            //forexample
struct kerdesek_type *kelem = &kerdesek[index];
char *string = 0;
if(i==1){
melyikkerdes='A';
string = kelem->a_valasz;
}
else if(i==2){
melyikkerdes='B';
string = kelem->b_valasz;
}
else if(i==3){
melyikkerdes='C';
string = kelem->c_valasz;
}
else{
melyikkerdes='D';
string = kelem->d_valasz;
}
printf("%s",string);

    If I understand you correctly, you don't want to print




    kerdesek[index].a_valasz




    but rather what is contained in the structure element?
    You cannot construct C code as strings at runtime and have them an executable part of your program.



    Is this what you are trying to do?



    #include <stdio.h>
    #define MAX_RECORDS 2

    struct ker
    {
    char a_answer[50];
    char b_answer[50];
    };

    int main()
    {
    struct ker questions[MAX_RECORDS] = {{"a_one", "b_one"},{"a_two", "b_two"}};

    char *reply_string = "None";

    int answer_number = 2; //Example
    int question_number = 1; //Example

    switch (answer_number){
    case 1:
    reply_string = questions[question_number].a_answer;
    break;

    case 2:
    reply_string = questions[question_number].b_answer;
    break;

    default:
    reply_string = "None";
    break;
    }

    printf("%sn", reply_string);

    return 0;
    }

                  If I understand you correctly, you don't want to print




                  kerdesek[index].a_valasz




                  but rather what is contained in the structure element?
                  You cannot construct C code as strings at runtime and have them an executable part of your program.
