I am so incredibly frustrated right now. I have seriously been sitting here for hours trying to figure out how to validate program input using ranges from a text file. My teacher gives us a lecture that is supposed to help, but the lecture doesn't even have a thing to do with the actual assignment, and is of no help at all. I have looked all over the site and all over the internet, and I cannot find anything that tells me how to do this.
So the text file has the validation ranges printed exactly like this:
1 9999
1 5
1 50
5.00 900.00
6.00 1000.00
I need to take my previous program and remove all of the validation I currently have in it, so I can use this text file to validate the input instead. I know that it all goes in the add() function (aside from where I have to change the values in getint() and getreal()), but I have absolutely no idea how to validate the input for product number, type, quantity, cost and price using the text file. This is all I have so far:
// ** Prototypes **
void heading(void);
int menu();
int add();
void getstring(char entry[], char prompt[]);
int getint(int min, int max, char prompt[]);
double getreal(double min, double max, char prompt[]);
double total(double quantity, double amount);
double profit(double profit_cost, double profit_price);
void init_costs(double t[], int x);
void show_costs(double t[], int x);
void show(int prodnum, int prodtype, char d[], int prodquan, double cost, double price, double prod_price, double prod_cost, double prod_profit);
int menuerror(int min, int max, char prompt[]);
int prompt(char msg[]);
int quit(void);
