switch with the same char

[mickey0]

Hello, this code probabily donesn't work. But my aim is find a way to work with character that can be',' or ' ', or '|'.
s could be: 20 2 3 or 20,2,3 or 20character2cha racter3. The problem is also that it could be 20 2 3 or 20, 2, 3
If I pass at function myFunc() as character ' ' (blank character) compiler says me that I can't have two ' ' in the switch. How can I outperform this problem? thanks

void myFunc(char* character) {
int i=0;
 while ( string s = readlineFromAFile()) {[INDENT]switch (s[i]) {
   case character: 
        doSomething();
        i++;
        break;
    case '  ':i++; break;
    default: doOther(); break;
}[/INDENT]
  }
}

I'm not sure I understand your issue - it sounds like you're attempting to create something that will parse a file based on a delimiting character.

Do you have to use a switch statement? If you are having issues with the case being a space, you could try an if-else chain - especially if you only have three possible characters, or want to pass it a certain character to be a delimiter.

You cna use characters in a switch becuse they are integers. A switch requires an intger. However, you have a case character and that is a char* function argument. You can't use a char* as a case.
