HTML tags check in C
I'm writing a little program in C, for check the HTML file have the right open and close tags? but i've got some issues... i have a file what contains the all possible tags, named tags.txt(those are only the first ones):
<a>
</a>
<abbr>
</abbr>
<area>
</area>
<aside>
</aside>
and i have the htmlfile.html, what I have to check:
<!--#echo var="date" -->
<area>
</area>
<area>
</area>
secondly, i want to replace the comments like this to the sysdate like , the format is OK i can do it, but the prog puts in the file this
my code:
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <time.h>
#define MAX_SIZE 512
void menu();
void check();
void datumos();
int main(int argc,char *argv[])
{
menu();
return 0;
}
void menu()
{
char menu[MAX_SIZE];
while(1 < 2)
{
printf("\npress a button:\n\n");
printf("\tFile HTML check..............:c\n");
printf("\t<!--#echo var="date" -->...........:d\n");
printf("\tExit:\tCTRL + C\n");
scanf("%s",menu);
if( strcmp(menu,"c") == 0 )
{
check();
}
else if( strcmp(menu,"d") == 0 )
{
datumos();
}
}
}
void check()
{
FILE *htmlfile;
FILE *checkfile;
htmlfile = fopen("htmlfile.html","w");
checkfile = fopen("tags.txt","r");
char line[MAX_SIZE];
char htmlline[MAX_SIZE];
char tags[189][30];
int i=0;
printf("\tcheck__1\n");
while(fgets(line,sizeof(line),checkfile) != NULL)
{
int j;
for(j=0; j<sizeof(line); ++j)
{
tags[i][j]=line[j];
}
++i;
}
printf("\tcheck__2\n");
int k=0; char htmlfiletags[MAX_SIZE][30];
while(fgets(htmlline,sizeof(htmlline),htmlfile) != NULL)
{
char currentline[sizeof(htmlline)];
int j=0;
if( currentline[j]=="<" )
{
while(currentline[j]!=">")
{
htmlfiletags[k][j]=currentline[j];
++j;
}
strcat(htmlfiletags[k][j+1],">");
++k;
}
}
printf("\tcheck__3\n");
int n;
for(n=0; n<sizeof(htmlfiletags); ++n)
{
int j; int howmanytimesnot=0;
for(j=0; j<sizeof(tags); ++j)
{
printf("\tcheck__3/1\n");
if(strcmp(htmlfiletags[n],tags[j])==0)
{
printf("\t%d\n", howmanytimesnot);
++howmanytimesnot;
}
}
printf("\tcheck__3/3\n");
if(!(howmanytimesnot<sizeof(tags)))
{
printf("\tcheck__3/4\n");
printf("the file is not wellformed");
exit (1);
}
}
printf("\tcheck__4\n");
}
void copy_file(const char *from,const char *to)
{
FILE *fr;
FILE *t;
fr = fopen(from,"r");
t = fopen(to,"w");
char line[MAX_SIZE];
char row[MAX_SIZE];
while(fgets(line,sizeof(line),fr) != NULL)
{
sscanf(line,"%s",row);
fprintf(t,"%s\n",row);
}
fclose(fr);
fclose(t);
remove("tempfile.html");
}
void datumos()
{
time_t now = time(NULL);
struct tm *t = localtime(&now);
char date_time[30];
strftime( date_time, sizeof(date_time), "%x_%X", t );
FILE *htmlfile;
FILE *tempfile;
htmlfile = fopen("htmlfile.html","r");
tempfile = fopen("tempfile.html","w");
char line[MAX_SIZE];
//char datecomment[]="<!--#echo var=date -->";
while(fgets(line,sizeof(line),htmlfile) != NULL)
{
if( strcmp(line,"<!--#echo var="date" -->") == 0 )
{
char row[40];
strcpy(row,"<!--");
strcat(row, date_time);
strcat(row,"-->");
printf("%s",row);
fputs(row,tempfile);
}
else
{
fputs(line,tempfile);
}
}
fclose(htmlfile);
fclose(tempfile);
copy_file("tempfile.html","htmlfile.html");
}
it dies in this, in the inner for loop, in the if at the 200th check... i dont know why...
int n;
for(n=0; n<sizeof(htmlfiletags); ++n)
{
int j; int howmanytimesnot=0;
for(j=0; j<sizeof(tags); ++j)
{
printf("\tcheck__3/1\n");
if(strcmp(htmlfiletags[n],tags[j])==0)
{
printf("\t%d\n", howmanytimesnot);
++howmanytimesnot;
}
}
printf("\tcheck__3/3\n");
if(!(howmanytimesnot<sizeof(tags)))
{
printf("\tcheck__3/4\n");
printf("the file is not wellformed");
exit (1);
}
}
Thanks for all reply!! G

the currentline it's not necessary,and i've fixed the compares too
while(fgets(htmlline,sizeof(htmlline),htmlfile) != NULL) { int j=0; if( htmlline[j]=='<' ) { while(htmlline[j]!='>') { htmlfiletags[k][j]=htmlline[j]; ++j; } strcat(htmlfiletags[k][j+1],">"); ++k; } }
-in addition, the another problem to replace only the suitable comments, and dont hurt the different ones still dont work
"so it replaces
<!--#echo var="date" --> to the sysdate, it's ok, but when there are different comments like
<!--#include something -->, it wont be copied back well, in the htmlfile will be only <!--#include"
ideas?

i've fixed some things, but - i still cant check the file's htmltags, dies at the same loop, i've fixed allocation of the tags array - when in the htmlfile are 2 or more different comments and i'm replacing the comment the program replaces it with the sysdate, but the program copy the another comments badly, like =>
the code is now:
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <time.h>
#define MAX_SIZE 512
void menu();
void check();
void datumos();
int main(int argc,char *argv[])
{
menu();
return 0;
}
void menu()
{
char menu[MAX_SIZE];
while(1 < 2)
{
printf("\npress a button:\n\n");
printf("\tFile HTML check..............:c\n");
printf("\t<!--#echo var="date" -->...........:d\n");
printf("\tExit:\tCTRL + C\n");
scanf("%s",menu);
if( strcmp(menu,"c") == 0 )
{
check();
}
else if( strcmp(menu,"d") == 0 )
{
datumos();
}
}
}
void check()
{
FILE *htmlfile;

Your code is very complicated, it has several issues.
Here's one:
for(j=0; j<sizeof(tags); ++j)
this will not do what I believe you expect; sizeof(tags) is not the array length of tags (which is declared as char tags[189][30];), it's the total size of the variable. So, this loop will go from 0 to 189 * 30 - 1, i.e. 5669, and thus index way out beyond the end of array.
Also, the idea to use sizeof here in any way is wrong, since the content of tags comes from a file and it thus impossible for the compiler to know. Remember that sizeof is evaluated at compile-time, for expressions like these.
You need to have a variable (e.g. size_t num_tags) that you increment for each line parsed from the tags file, and that you later use to iterate over tags.

Do not use regex, or some kind of string parsing, to parse HTML. Instead search the web, or this site, for a c library to parse html. Then check the parsed HTML file for the tags. This will ease the development a lot as you don't have to parse the files yourself.
