i trying use ubuntu terminal display users input. if user enters "exit" program should quit. if user enters other "/dev/pts/1" should display "unable open writing". program keeps printing else statement no matter type in. please.
#include <stdio.h> main() { file *fpt; char str[100]; char term[20]; fpt = fopen("/dev/pts/1", "w"); while(1) { printf("enter terminal display in: "); scanf("%s", term); if(term != "exit"); { if(term == "/dev/pts/1") { printf("enter text display: "); scanf("%s", str); fprintf(fpt,"%s\n", str); } else { printf("unable open %s writing\n", term); } } } fclose(fpt); }
use strcmp() compare strings:
#include <string.h> if (strcmp(term, "/dev/pts/1") == 0) { // strings equal } else { // strings different. }
