Thread: Beginner in C

Hello,

I have to get 200'000 words in an array.

I use

Code:

fscanf(ptr1,"%s", words[i]);

I have one problem... It crashing because of the stack size.

I read about the function malloc, but I didn't figured how to use it to make it work yet...

I could use some help plz

Or are you expected to be able to deal with any number of words with any length?

I can deal with any number of words with any length, but I need to get all those words in the array

I think i found it

If I do words = malloc(2000000*sizeof(words));

It should work I guess

words is defined as in the function

int chargeWords(char *fileName, Word words[MAXNBWORDS], int lenghts[MAXNBWORDS], int *err)
