[Solved] How can I replace symbol with char array in the given text [closed]

by


I copied the string into a new buffer. I struggled a bit to get this working. I don’t know whether it is what you wanted.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

int main(void)
{
    int i, j, k;
    size_t count_comma = 0;
    size_t count_question_mark = 0;
    char question_mark[] = "question mark";
    char comma[] = "comma";
    char *str;
    size_t str_size;
    char msg[] = "Hello, whats your name?";
    size_t msg_size = strlen(msg) + 1;

    for (i = 0; i < msg_size; i++) 
        if (msg[i] == ',') 
            count_comma++;
        else if (msg[i] == '?')
            count_question_mark++;

    str_size = msg_size + 1 
        //- count_comma - count_question_mark 
        + count_comma * strlen(comma) 
        + count_question_mark * strlen(question_mark);

    str = malloc(str_size);

    for (j = 0, i = 0; i < msg_size; i++) {
        if (msg[i] == ',') {
            str[j++] = ' ';
            i++;
            for (k = 0;  k < strlen(comma); k++) {
                str[j++] = comma[k];
            }
        } 
        if (msg[i] == '?') {
            str[j++] = ' ';
            i++;
            for (k = 0; k < strlen(question_mark); k++) {
                str[j++] = question_mark[k];
            }
        }

        str[j++] = msg[i];
    }

    str[j] = '\0';

    printf("%s\n", msg);
    printf("%s\n", str);
    return 0;
}
