exiting a function

[Guest_imported]

How would i go about exiting this function with an input 'X' from the keyboard when the name is read in.

any help would be greatly appreciated....thanks )

    int i;
    for(i=0;i<=9;i++,*ptr++)
    {
    printf(&quot;\n\tName    :    &quot;);
    scanf(&quot;%s&quot;,&ptr->name);
    printf(&quot;\n\tID    :    &quot;);
    scanf(&quot;%d&quot;, &ptr->identity);
    }

You might use a temporary variable to hold the input name, and if it's "X", break out of the for loop. If it's not, assign your temp variable to the permanent location, then proceed with your input. BTW, if this is in C++, why use printf and scanf, when cin and cout are much more civil?

i`m using C )

I tried using ptr->name but as its a string and not a char it won`t allow me to perfom the if (ptr->name=='x') etc

i`m using C for this, but the C forum isn`t as good as here for answering C questions for some reason.
