Well.. believe it or not, here it is.. WORKING!!!!!!
Thanks to ALL of you that helped with this.. it was a pain, but here is the
end result.
- code below is in / goes in skills.c -
------------------------------------------------------------
void load_skills( void )
{
/* the regular part of the load_skills() function goes here */
int skill_count;
for ( skill_count = 0; skill_table[skill_count].name != NULL;
skill_count++ )
;
qsort( skill_table, skill_count, sizeof(struct skill_type),
srt_skills );
return;
}
int srt_skills(const void *p1, const void *p2)
{
if ( (* (struct skill_type *)p1).name == NULL )
return 2;
else if ( (* (struct skill_type *)p2).name == NULL )
return 1;
return strcmp((* (struct skill_type *)p1).name,(* (struct skill_type
*)p2).name);
}
-------------------------------------------------------
Well, that did the trick! It works like a champ!

I don't know if this makes any different or not, but I believe that it
should be sizeof(skill_type) instead of pSkill...

ok.. I am SO close to getting this thing right using "qsort"... having a
little problem though and I think it deals with "sizeof()"..
Thoughts / Input??

That would be great, thanks!
