I need to convert arguments given at command line such as: $ myprogram hello world
and the words need to be printed in CAPS. I am able to to do everything except access the double pointer array to make the changes with toupper()
static char **duplicateArgs(int argc, char **argv)
{
char **copy = malloc(argc * sizeof (*argv));
if(copy == NULL){
perror("malloc returned NULL");
exit(1);
}
int i;
for(i = 0; i<argc; i++){
copy[i] = argv[i];
}
char **temp;
temp = ©[1];
*temp = toupper(copy[1]);
return copy;
}
*temp = toupper(copy[1]);
toupper
converts a single character, if you want to convert an entire string:
char *temp = copy[1]; /* You don't need a double pointer */
size_t len = strlen(temp);
for (size_t i = 0; i < len; i++) {
temp[i] = toupper(temp[i]);
}
