Printing strings columnwise

[Umesh]

I was just wondering how to print two strings coulmnwise.

char string1[]="abcd";
char string2[]="efgh";

now i want to print something like this:

a e
b f
c g
d h

i was trying to use gotoxy(2,0); but it is not working.

size_t index;

for (index = 0; index != sizeof string1 ; ++index) {
printf("%c %c\n", string1[index], string2[index]);
}
return 0;
}

/* END new.c */

Thank you. But in my program i need to print the first sequnce first
and then the second sequnce. I hope u understand my problem.

After printing the first sequence in the first column I've to print
the second sequence in the second column.

I don't.

Why?

gotoxy isn't part of the C standard library.
First, find out if you C implementation supports gotoxy;
then, if it does,
see what your implementation's documentation says about it.

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

int main(void)
{
char str1[]="abcd",str2[]="efgh";
int i;
for(i=0;i<strlen(str1);i++)
printf("%c\n",str1);
for(i=0;i<strlen(str2);i++)
{
gotoxy(2,i+1);
printf("%c\n",str2);
} //initial position is given by gotoxy(1,1);
return 0;

}

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

int main(void)
{
char str1[]="abcd",str2[]="efgh";
int i;
for(i=0;i<strlen(str1);i++)
printf("%c\n",str1);
for(i=0;i<strlen(str2);i++)
{
gotoxy(2,i+1);
printf("%c\n",str2);
} //initial position is given by gotoxy(1,1);
return 0;

Neither <conio.h> nor gotoxy() is part of standard C. If you have
questions about either of them, you need to post to a newsgroup where
they're topical, probably a Windows or DOS group.

Please don't top-post. Read the following to understand what
top-posting is and why it's discouraged:

http://www.caliburn.nl/topposting.html

Please don't change the subject header when you post a followup. It
makes it difficult to follow the discussion. The original subject was
"Printing strings columnwise"; since you're still discussing that,
changing the subject header can only cause confusion.

I recall from your last flurry of postings here that you weren't very
good at listening to advice. I hope you've improved.

But this doesn't work when i try to put the output in a text file

FILE *fout;
fout=fopen("c:/output.txt","w");

then fprintf etc

Hi, Keith i think it's better to work than to waste time giving
advices. thx

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

int main(void)
{
char str1[]="abcd",str2[]="efgh";
int i;
for(i=0;i<strlen(str1);i++)
printf("%c\n",str1);
for(i=0;i<strlen(str2);i++)
{
gotoxy(2,i+1);
printf("%c\n",str2);
} //initial position is given by gotoxy(1,1);
return 0;

}

I don't.

You cannot insert stuff in-place in a file. See FAQ 19.14.
If you *really* need that, try to write "a ", save the position
with ftell(), " \nb ", resave the position etc., then work with
fseek(). But I can't see why you can't write stuff in a normal
order, as pete suggests.

Still too rude to post correctly I see..

No, of course it doesn't work.

And if you weren't too rude to post properly, somebody might explain
why it doesn't work (or at least where you can ask).

Bye.

It's called independence; not kowtowing to "The Man".

Umesh, you must understand that, living as he does in his parent's
basement, Keith has nothing better to do than give (screwball) advice
here on clc.

Hey, Keith, come on, fair's fair - you keep telling people not to feed
the trolls, and it's patently obvious that Umesh is either a troll or
far more stupid than is generally considered possible for a human. What
are you doing - fattening him up for Christmas?

Living in perpetual hope, it looks like from here.

Can't fault Keith for being an optimist.

Umesh hadn't posted for a while; I had hoped me might have learned
something during his absence, and I thought it couldn't hurt to give
him a chance to demonstrate it. Oh, well.
