Thread: what si wrong with this

im so tired of this idun understand wtf can be wrong with it, its just ridiculous

Code:

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    
    FILE *fp;
    fp = fopen("input1.txt", "r");

    //variable declarations
    int array[500];
    int i = 0;
    char buffer[300];
    char word[300];
      while (fgets(buffer, sizeof(buffer), fp) != NULL)
      {
	sscanf(buffer, "%s", word);
	printf("%s\n", word);
	array[0] = word;        // <---------- error ! why
 	//printf("%i\n", array[i]);
      	i++;
      } //end of file
}
//end of main

i get warning: assignment makes integer from pointer without a cast

why
why the hell

ok wait
ignore tht
look at this

Code:

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    
    FILE *fp;
    fp = fopen("input1.txt", "r");

    //variable declarations
    int array[500];
    int i = 0;
    char buffer[300];
      while (fgets(buffer, sizeof(buffer), fp) != NULL)
      {
	array[i] = buffer;
      	i++;
      } //end of file
}
//end of main

this is wut i had, and again tried to assign int to word; wasted hours for this ........ and its obviously wrong.
close top

That's because you cannot assign strings with the equals sign in C. Use the strcpy() (or similar) string library function or use fscanf().

Add to that your array[500] is only 1 string. If you want to store multiple strings you need a 2 dimensioned array ... array[500][100]; or such.

Oops... my mistake, sorry.
