Is there a way (and what might be the solution) in C to save strings from a file to a multithread table, so that one string is assigned to it's own address in the table (not quite sure about the translation, but I mean a table which you form like this in C:
char table[4][43])?
>char table[4][43])
By this, do you mean that you want to save 4 strings of 43 characters in length? If so then to assign each string you can simply iterate through the first dimension and strncpy to the second.
-PreludeCode:for ( i = 0; i < 4; i++ ) strncpy ( table[i], buffer, 43 );
My best code is written with the delete key.
OK, I tested the strncpy you suggested, but the data is taken from the file fills the whole table with the same string... No idea what I'm doing wrong... Here's the code, the textfile.txt is made by another program that asks for your name and address...:
>>#include <stdio.h>
>>#include <conio.h>
>>#include <string.h>
>>
>>struct person
>>{
>> char name[40];
>> char number[20];
>>};
>>
>>void main(void)
>>{
>>struct person man;
>>
>>FILE *filename;
>>
>>char table[40][40], *ptr;
>>int i;
>>
>>//ptr=table[40];
>>
>>filename=fopen("c:\\temp\\textfile.txt","rb");
>>do{
>>fread(&man,sizeof man,1,man);
>>for (i = 0; i < 5; i++){
>>strncpy (table[i], man.name, 40);
>> }
>>}
>>while (!feof(filename));
>>}
Well, this looks dubious. Here's the prototype for fread():Originally posted by Unregistered
fread(&man,sizeof man,1,man);
Code:size_t fread(void *ptr, size_t size, size_t nitems, FILE *stream);

Um, no. Please see other posts by me on this to see why.
>filename=fopen("c:\\temp\\textfile.txt","rb");
Broken, what happens if fopen fails? If you don't test the return value then you'll find out eventually.
>fread(&man,sizeof man,1,man);
*wince*
>while (!feof(filename));
This won't work as you might expect, it's the incorrect use for feof.
