Question Counting vowels in string. "Comparison pointer-integer".
I'm trying to write a programme which scans strings to find how many vowels they contain. I get an error saying that I'm trying to compare a pointer and an integer in
Code:
if(*v == scanme[i]){

. How can I overcome this ? Also, the programme seems to scan only the first word of a string e.g.: if I type "abc de" it will only scan "abc". (I know this because for some reason it didn't produce the pointer-integer error before).

Thank you in advance.

Code:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>

int main ()
{
        char scanme[80];
        char *v[80] = {"a", "e", "i", "o", "u"};
        int nv = 0;
        int i;
        printf ("Type a string to scan.\n");
        scanf ("%s", scanme);
        printf ("Looking for vowels in \"%s\"...\n", scanme);


        for(i = 0; i < strlen(scanme); i++){
                if(*v == scanme[i]){
                        nv++;
                }
        }
        printf ("There are %d vowels.\n", nv);

        return 0;
}

   Functions
       WTTClass TACchtype (thchar_t c)
	   WTT character class.
       WTTOp TACio_op (thchar_t c1, thchar_t c2)
	   WTT I/O operation.

Detailed Description
       WTT I/O implementation.

       WTT stands for Wing Tuk Tee (in Thai, Runs everywhere). It was defined by TACTIS (Thai API Consortium/Thai Industrial Standard) in the
       NECTEC Thai Software Standard Project (1989-1991), and later endorsed by Thai Industrial Standard Institute (TISI) as TIS 1566-2541 in
       1998.

       WTT classifies Thai chracter(TIS-620) into 17 types below.

       ITYPE  VALUE SHORT_DESCRIPTION
       CTRL    0    control characters
       NON     1    non composible characters
       CONS    2    consonants
       LV      3    leading vowels
       FV1     4    following vowels 1
       FV2     5    following vowels 2
       FV3     6    following vowels 3
       BV1     7    below vowels 1
       BV2     8    below vowels 2
       BD      9    below diacritics
       TONE    10   tonemarks
       AD1     11   above diacritics 1
       AD2     12   above diacritics 2
       AD3     13   above diacritics 3
       AV1     14   above vowels 1
       AV2     15   above vowels 2
       AV3     16   above vowels 3

       Functions in thctype.h do basic character classifications while wtt.h classifies a chracter in detail. Please refer to the reference.

       TACio_op() checks how to compose two given chracters. The possiblities are Composible (CP), Non-display (XC), Accept (AC), Reject (RJ) and
       Strict Reject (SR). The values of CP, XC, AC, RJ and SR are difined in wtt.h. And their meanings are:

       o CP : second character is displayed in the same cell as the first, also implies an acceptance.
       o XC : Do nothing.
       o AC : Display second character in the next cell.
       o RJ : Discard second character.
       o SR : Reject second character only in strict mode.
