Ok so I'm still a little confused with how I could get that to do it for the
skill table....
Would I do
qsort(skill_table, MAX_SKILL, sizeof(skill_table), compare);
And then in my comparison function how would I work that out?
int compare(const void *a, const void *b)
{
struct skill_type *skill1, *skill2;
int count1;
skill1 = (struct skill_type *)a;
skill2 = (struct skill_type *)b;
for(count =0; skill1.name[count] != '\0' || skill2.name[count] != '\0';
count++)
{
if(LOWER(skill1.name[count1]) == LOWER(skill2.name[count])
continue;
return (LOWER(skill1.name[count]) -
LOWER(skill2.name[count]));
}
return 0;
}
Is that how I would do this? Sorry if that looks retarted, just I've never
seen or used this qsort ablity. And I've never compared letters to each
other. I normal compare with str_prefix, for str_cmp.
