Need to convert a string format in C

Hi ,

I have a variable which stores the date in string format
example.. lets say char a='2-12-2016'
i want to convert the format to 2016/12/2

How to achieve this using C?

  • a char stores a single character, so char a='2-12-2016' isn't going to work. For your question, check into strchr.

    char s[] = "2-12-2016", *p;
    
    while((p = strchr(s, '-')) != NULL)
        *p = '//';
    

    don't forget to include string.h for strchr
