First of all, you make a common mistake: getchar() returns an int and not a char. This may cause errors in the != EOF condition
Ok, so here's my short approach I would be taken, no guarantuee that it works though
Code:
int c;
int iscorrect = 1;
int inword = 0;
int lastvowel = 0; // if it is 1, the previously read char was a vowel
while((c = getchar()) != EOF) {
if(delimitp((char) c)) {
if(inword) { // end of word reached
(iscorrect == 1 && lastvowel == 1) ? printf(" correct word\n"); : printf(" wrong word\n"); // word had to be correct and the char in front of the delimit had to be vowel
inword = 0;
iscorrect = 1; //reset
} else // two or more delimiters, ignore them
continue;
}
if(!letterp((char) c)) { //word is def wrong
inword = 1;
iscorrect = 0;
putchar(c);
continue;
}
if(!inword) { //first char of word, so we don't check adjacent consonsants here
inword = 1;
iscorrect = 1; //we accecpt consonants and vowels here. all other got kicked of in the if before - prob obsolute because we reset it at the delimiters
if(vowelp((char) c))
lastvowel = 1;
else
lastvowel = 0;
putchat(c);
} else {
if(!vowelp((char) c) && lastvowel = 0) //adjacent consonants
iscorrect = 0;
putchar(c);
}
}
So, I hope this gets the job done Just a quick summary: First we check for delimiters. If it is the first delimiter and the last char was a vowel (and the word was correct to this point) it is correct. More limiters get ignored.
Then we check what else is there: If it is not a letter, the word is def wrong. But still we put it out.
If it is the first char of a word, we don't care it it is a vowel or consonant, both is ok. But we still need to check so we are able to check for adjacent consonants. This is done via lastvowel.

Guys I am new to Linux in general and want to know what is the use of the following files-:

If so are there any better larger word lists out there ? I am sure... (2 Replies)

lmfsetup(8) System Manager's Manual lmfsetup(8)Name
lmfsetup - License Management Facility PAK registration script
Syntax
/etc/lmfsetup [ template ]
Description
The script allows you to register data supplied by a Product Authorization Key (PAK). The script prompts you for the data associated with
each of the fields on a PAK. When all the data has been entered, the License Management Facility (LMF) ensures there are entries against
all the mandatory fields, and that the Checksum validates all the license data. If the data has been entered correctly, the PAK is regis-
tered in the License Database. If the data has been entered incorrectly, the appropriate error message is displayed and you are given the
opportunity to re-enter the data.
The template option allows you to register license data from templates in A template containing a partially complete PAK is created by some
products as part of their installation process. The script only prompts you for data on the fields that are empty in the template. If the
script cannot find the specified template in it searches the current directory.
The script is provided as an alternative to the command. This displays a template, which includes the fields on the PAK, and invokes an
editor so that you can add the license data to the appropriate field. The command also allows errors to be corrected without having to re-
enter all the data.
