Can anyone help? I have to Write a program in C that recognizes the following commands and translate
I have to
Write a program in C that recognizes the following commands and translates them into much simpler ones
Commands to recognize shorter command
list
L

cd dir
C - dir_length - dir
get file_name G - file_name_length - file_name

Long commands are read from the standard input and short commands are written to the standard output. To do it, follow these rules:
1) Recognize the command
2) If the command has a parameter, create a function that reads this parameter character by character and return a dynamic list with all the characters and the number of characters.
(REMEMBER: the size of the command has no limitation in size!!!!)

i have done the same script with if...else(everything was ok)

i am bit confused....i can't understand the dynamic list...

whatever, thank you everybody..
