input= this is a example, I like studying example
I want to replace each occurence of word example with word program

OUTPUT should be= this is a program, I like studying program

I have coded it, but some error is coming and i think there is come problem in my code.
Cn anybody suggest me smthng??
thank you

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
char replace(char[],char[],char[]);

void main()
{
 char mystr[50] = "this is a example, I like studying example";
 char old[]="example";
 char neww[]="language";
 char c[40]="\0";
 clrscr();
 puts(mystr);

 //puts(replace(mystr[], old[], neww[]));

 c=replace(mystr[],old[],neww[]);
 //puts(c);

 getch();
}

char replace(char mystrr[], char oldd[], char newww[])
{

int a,i,j;
a=strlen(mystrr);

 for(i=0;i<a;i++);
 {
int a,i,j;
a=strlen(mystrr);

 for(i=0;i<a;i++);
 {
  for(j=0;j<(mystrr!=0);j++)
   {
     if(mystrr[i]==oldd[i])
      {
	mystrr[i]=newww[i];
      }

   }
 }

 //puts(mystrr);
return mystrr;

On line 16 the [] shouldn't be there.

c=replace(mystr,old,neww);

The return type of replace is char but you're returning an array.

Your missing some closing braces '}' at the end.

Well, to begin with, you need to copy & paste more carefully. Lines 30-34 are an exact duplication of lines 25-29. That should make you wonder ...

Also, if you're writing a C program, you have to use C functions. You can't compare strings in C using ==, and you can't assign strings using =. Study the C string functions strcmp and strcpy.

That should get you started, I hope...

thnks for rplyng..

I did wht u said.
Now it is showing an error at line 16 that L VALUE REQUIRED....
and at 2nd last line i.e at return mystr; the error is "non portable conversion"

wht shld i do now??

Oh, and what is the string char c[40]="\0"; for? You haven't used it. I hope you weren't planning to use it to contain the entire revised string -- that will get you in trouble since it's smaller than the original mystr[50].

thanks for telling me that in my code some lines are repettive!!

I very well knw abt strcmp, strcat, strlen, strstr etc...
but if i dn't wnt to use any string function
thn how should i continue now???

Try posting your new code, with the error messages you receive.

If you don't want to use any string functions, then you can't compare strings. In that case you have to compare each individual character, 1 at a time. And you have to copy from the original string to the new string one character at a time.

ok, plcng my code again!!
Now wht should i do, to solve the error

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
char replace(char[],char[],char[]);

void main()
{
 char mystr[50] = "this is a example, I like studying example";
 char old[]="example";
 char neww[]="language";
 char c[60]="\0";
 //char ch[]="\0";
 clrscr();
 puts(mystr);

 //puts(replace(mystr[], old[], neww[]));

 c=replace(mystr,old,neww); // [b] Error: L value required [/b]
 puts(c);

 getch();
}

char replace(char mystrr[], char oldd[], char newww[])
{

int a,i,j;
a=strlen(mystrr);

 for(i=0;i<a;i++);
 {
  for(j=0;j<(mystrr!=0);j++)
   {
     if(mystrr[i]==oldd[i])
      {
	mystrr[i]=newww[i];
      }

   }
 }

 //puts(mystrr);
return mystrr;  //[b] error:nonportable converion [/b]

}
