    Ordering names

    I need to order the names in a file (alphabetically), I managed to put the names in an array and find the first name. However, Im having trouble in printing the rest of the names. Heres part of the code:

    /*matriz1 and matriz2 are [150][45], alumnos is FILE *alumnos */
    Code:
      memset(matriz1,'\0',sizeof(matriz1));
      memset(matriz2,'\0',sizeof(matriz2));
      while(fgets(buffer,255,alumnos)) {
                    int len;
                    len = strlen(buffer);
                    if(buffer[len-1] == '\n') {
                            buffer[--len] = 0;
                            if(buffer[len-1] == '\r')
                                    buffer[--len] = 0;
                    }
    
                    if(!buffer[0] || buffer[0] == '#')
                            continue;
    		
    				strncpy(matriz1[i], buffer, 45);
    				matriz1[i][44]='\0';
    //				printf("\nI: %i, valor: %s", i, matriz1[i]);
    				fflush(stdout);
    				i++;
    	}
    	
    
    
    	m=i;
    /*
    	limit=str_search(matriz1[0],"#",1);
    	memset(row,'\0',sizeof(row));
    	strncpy(row, matriz1[0], limit);
    	row[limit-1]='\0';
    */		
     for(j=0; j<=m; j++) {
    	if(strlen(matriz1[j])<=1)
    		continue;
    		
    	limit=str_search(matriz1[j],"#",1);
    	memset(row,'\0',sizeof(row));
    	strncpy(row, matriz1[j], limit);
    	row[limit-1]='\0';
    	
    	for(i=0; i<=m; i++){
    		if(strlen(matriz1[i])<=1)
    			continue;
    		/* Matriz1[i] es menor que row */
    		if(strncmp(row,matriz1[i],limit-1)>0){
    			limit=str_search(matriz1[i],"#",1);
    			memset(row,'\0',sizeof(row));
    			strncpy(row, matriz1[i], limit);				
    		}
    	}
    	
    	printf("\n\nEl menor es : %s",row);
    	strncpy(matriz2[index_matriz2], row, 45);
    	matriz2[index_matriz2][44]='\0';
    	matriz1[i][0]='\0';
    	
    	index_matriz2++;	
    
    	memset(matriz1[i],'\0', sizeof(matriz1[i]));
    
    	for(aux=0; aux<150; aux++){
    		if(strlen(matriz1[aux])>1)
    			limit=str_search(matriz1[aux],"#",1);
    			memset(row,'\0',sizeof(row));
    			strncpy(row, matriz1[0], limit);
    			row[limit-1]='\0';
    			break;
    	}
     }	
    
    	printf("\n\nImprimiendo matriz 2\n");
    	for(i=0; i<=m; i++){
    		printf("\nI: %i; %s",i, matriz2[i]);
    		fflush(stdout);	
    	}
    Thanks

    ... then you could use the qsort() function.
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]
