Why don't you try calling chinet (283.0559)? There's quite a few
|
|
C-people on there (it being a unix box), and you'll probably get
|
|
more than a few responses (as they argue which is the best way to
|
|
do what).
|
|
If you've used unix, chinet will hold no surprises (Bourne, csh,
|
|
Korn shells ALL available to newusers).
|
|
If you've never used unix, just let the system hold your hand,
|
|
the signon is a breeze (a LONG breeze 8-] ).
|
|
Just a thot...

Following up on Ward's msg, malloc() permits you to specify the EXACT
|
|
number of bytes desired. So if memory is a paramount consideration,
|
|
using that fxn in conjunction with your second struct could be
|
|
warranted.
|
|
In real-world applications, however, the 30 sets of your "student"
|
|
data take up so little memory that the discussion is truly academic.
|
|
Also, in actual applications if you were using more realistic,
|
|
much larger amount of data you would probably be writing a struct's
|
|
data to disk as soon as its entered--for reasons of data safety, memory
|
|
conservation and coding efficiency.
|
|
In both of the latter circumstances, using your FIRST struct is
|
|
infinitely easier . . . and ironically is a better use of memory by
|
|
reducing the amount of code needed (which of course also occupies
|
|
memory).

to ALL re: THANKS (W/ C/ & J)
|
|
|
|
Ward, Charlie, & Jerry;
|
|
Thanks to you all for responding.
|
|
I'll have to clarify. Once I define a structure that include
|
|
pointers to strings, I wanted to know how to enter strings into those
|
|
locations later in the program.
|
|
I tried a couple of things and this is what I see:
|
|
(This is my structure def: struct student_st {
|
|
char *lastname;
|
|
char *firstname;
|
|
int grade;
|
|
}student, *studp; )
|
|
If I declare the structure and DON'T initialize the strings
|
|
with data, all I get for string storage space is the two bytes
|
|
pointing to the string terminators ('\0').
|
|
If I DO provide initialization strings, the length of each string is the
|
|
length of the biggest string I can put into that member variable.
|
|
Ex:
|
|
If I init student[0].lastname with "Cantele", that is the biggest
|
|
string I can put into student[0].lastname.
|
|
What I see I have to do is declare the structure with explicit lengths
|
|
for those two variables so that I will have enough string space to
|
|
input the largest string I'll need.
|
|
So I have to come to the conclusion that including pointers to strings
|
|
within structures are only useful when you also include initialization
|
|
values for those pointers.
|
|
If I had a more 'real world' situation I would do as Jerry said and use
|
|
the structure as a model and write the structure to disk once it was
|
|
entered. If I'm still wrong please let me know. Once again, thanks.

Would the DOS SUBSTitute command be of any use? You could leave the files

One thing you might try - ask for a BUSTED disk - you can get a 20-30M

drive repaired for <$100 at Disk Drive Repair service in Beaverton, and

get a year's warranty on it, too.

The hardware is not feeling to well lately. I guess that happens

to old CP/M systems. I think it is either the CPU or a memory

board.

I think we need to run the software on a PC clone with an emulator.
