Hello, everyone.

What's the best way to read an input file where the test cases are separeted by line breaks or blank lines, instead of having an explicit counter?

Example:
Instead of
The second case has an explicits the number of test cases (2) and each test case explicits the number of input elements (5 and 5).

For the first case, I have been reading the input with fgets into a string and processing its elements with sscanf, but it's quite boring and very little elegant this way. Can anybody share a better alternative?

Thanks in advance![/code]

Try to use %[...] scanf conversions. For instance, to parse the input you can write something like

code wrote:#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
........int l=0;
........char s[1000];

........while (!feof(stdin))
........{
................printf("line %d:", ++l);
................while (scanf("%[^ \n]%*[ ]", s)>0) printf(" '%s'", s);
................printf("\n");
................scanf("%*c%*[ ]");
........}

........return 0;
}

The output of the program to the given input is For more information on %[...] try man scanf.

Use gets or fgets function. If length of line read in is > 0, then parse using strtok function.
