    Unhappy Read Text File into an Array

    Hi, I need to use the qsort to sort the content of an unknown text file size by reading it into an array and then sort the lines. I know C language well, could someone help? I can get the file size and dynamically allocate memory, but how would I treat the allocated memory like an array like having lines of text file?

    Use a for loop,

    Code:
    for(i = 0; i < rows; i++)
       fscanf("%s", &stringArray[i]); //don't reference the second dimension here
    I haven't run this, but it looks ok.

    You will have to show your code for further help. That's the forum policy.
