Help is need immidiately

[Al Balmer]

Thank you santosh.Its been a pleasure.Someone finally who actually
knows how to solve the problem.Brilliant mate.No condescending
remarks..no pretences of actually "knowing" how to do it.No alternate
solution.Just plain and simple code.

I expect that everyone who replied knows how to do it. However, they
apparently failed in their goal of letting you learn how to do it. Too
bad - Santosh did you a disservice, but perhaps you can hire him the
next time you need a program written.

Eh, how do come to that conclusion? Whom did I do a "disservice"? The
OP? Well, if he's intelligent and serious about programming, he'll
study my code, (and other material), and figure it out himself. If he's
not and he uses my code, as such, for his project, then that's his
descision and problem. He'll come a cropper someday or the other.
Either way, I don't consider my post a "disservice". Depending on what
the OP does with it, he'll create his own advantage or "disservice" for
himself.

Following your line of thought, guns should be banned in the US
because, *some* angsty kid decides to test the trigger. Or all source
code should be removed from the internet, because people like the OP
may allegedly use it to further their mis-education. Further, pete will
be heartened to hear that you consider his contributions to the group a
"disservice".

but perhaps you can hire him the next time you need a program written.

No need to insult me just because the OP happened to criticise the
group.

Hey,

Thanks

No problem but generally the regulars of this group are *far* more well
versed in C than you or me. In my short time here, I've learned quite a
bit about writing good C code that would otherwise have been learnt
much slower, if my only sources had been books and tutorials.

As for your question, the FAQ entry, (reffered to you in the first
reply to your post), actually has enough pointers, (pardon the pun) to
enable you to figure it out yourself. I'll admit that multidimensional
arrays and pointers are not the easiest aspects of C, but generally
they can be tackled if you proceed systematically from the fundamental
concepts and syntax, trying out progressively more complex demos
yourself.

No, he won't. (Witholding judgment on his intelligence and
seriousness.) Why should he, when he can get someone else to do it?

If he's
not and he uses my code, as such, for his project, then that's his
descision and problem. He'll come a cropper someday or the other.

Huh? Are you saying that kids should not be encouraged to learn how to
handle a gun, but should always depend on someone else to do it for
them? That's a different issue, and perhaps you think that's the case,
but that's not the practice here wrt learning C. We try to help people
learn, rather than doing their work for them. As I pointed out, if the
OP wants someone to do the work for him, there are other venues.

Or all source
code should be removed from the internet, because people like the OP
may allegedly use it to further their mis-education.

Huh? Again. I would encourage the OP to study and use other people's
sources. If he has difficulty understanding it, he can ask for help
here. But that has nothing to do with insisting that someone else do
his work and refusing even to try doing it himself.

Further, pete will
be heartened to hear that you consider his contributions to the group a
"disservice".

Huh? Once again. Who's Pete?

No need to insult me just because the OP happened to criticise the
group.

Four for four. How on earth did you detect an insult in that? I
certainly wouldn't suggest it if I didn't think you were competent.
