Referencing String Array

Hi and thank for any help in this issues.

I have a program who declare the following variables

Code:

#define idbuffsize 256
#define nreswrd 59

char idbuff[idbuffsize];
char* reswrd[59];

I then initiate the array of reswrd[0] with the following way

Code:

    reswrd[  0] = "ARRAY";
    reswrd[  1] = "BEGIN";
    reswrd[  2] = "BY";
    reswrd[  3] = "CASE";

I also used idbuff as a way to store every single character that i am reading such as idbuff[k] = ch; where ch is a character at a time.

At the end I want to compare both string idbuff to my list of array of reswrd allowing me to see if yes or not in the list

Now the following code does work

Code:

printf("%s", idbuff);
char* foo;
foo = idbuff;
char* bar;
bar = reswrd[1];

if( cmpstr(foo, bar) == 0)...

where reswrd[1] would work and compare the string but that not what i want it to achieve. I want to do the following.

int i;
and would like to go through the list of reswrd at i items and just do a loop or something to allow me to read it. However when running my program it freeze, i am wondering if i am miss something in c string structure or with pointer. Thanks in advance

Well you would actually need to show the code for your loop.

Code:

for ( i = 0 ; i < nreswrd ; i++ )
 if ( strcmp( idbuff, reswrd[i] ) == 0 )

I am not even trying to do a loop, atm

Code:

int i;
i = 0;
printf("%s", reswrd[i]);

but at the end i want it to do this

Code:

    do{
        //printf("%s", idbuff);
        char* foo;
        foo = idbuff;
        char* bar;
        bar = reswrd[1];
        //printf("%s\n", reswrd[0]);


        if(strcmp(foo, bar ) == 0)
        {
            reswrdflag = TRUE;
        }
        else
        {
            i++;
        }
    }while (reswrdflag != TRUE  && i < nreswrd);

reswrdflag is boolean ( which is predefine at the start with #define TRUE 1, and nreswrd is = to 58 because there is technically 58 items in nreswrd word.

Thanks for the quick reply i appreciate it.

One thing i have noticed, in my coding is when doing a reference
//printf("%s\n", reswrd[0]); it freeze, however when doing a reference
//printf("%s\n", reswrd[1]); it works, is there something i am missing with string of array in c???

Without seeing a complete program, it's impossible to tell how you're messing this up.

Sure I can take the random lines you've posted, and it will work just fine. But it won't tell you anything new and interesting that will help you solve your problem.
