    code problem

    hi, this code of mine works fine. Only thing is that when i add a new entry(not modify) windows xp brings this error message that the .exe file has caused an error, would you like to send an error message. I have tried compiling on two machines with 2 diff compilers, with the same results. could you guys help me debug it??? the tbfile is any text file that you can create with notepad. thanks a bunch
    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    #include <string.h>
    #define MAX_STRING_SIZE 81
    #define TEL_BOOK_SIZE 50

    >>strcpy(tbp->entry[*ip].telnum,newnum);
    Did you allocate any memory for telnum? (it's only a pointer to start with, not an array).
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]

    no i dont think so,
    all that dynamic allocation is the proff logic:-

    how do i do that????/

    Use the same principles as mentioned in your paper:
    Note that you
    need to input the name and telephone number as dynamically allocated strings so use fgetString(stdin), e.g.

    char *newName;
    newName = fgetString(stdin); strToUpper(newNname);...
    free(tbp->entry[i].name); /*de-allocate storage for old name*/
    tbp->entry[i].name = newName;
    Slight modifications needed, obviously...
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]

    so u mean to say that when the loop says that it is a new entry, i use fgetstring to allocate memory to the pointer?//

    edit:- for some reason the func fgetString is accepting stdin as a valid input.

    edit 2:- well the delete function has been fixed, but i still need help with inserting a new element.

    Code:
    int insertNew(TelBook *tbp, int n, int *ip)
    {  char c, newname[81], newnum[81];
      int j=0,k;
      printf("Enter name: ");
      c=getchar();
      do { c=toupper(c);
         newname[j]=c;
         j++;
         c=getchar(); } while (c!='\n');
       newname[j]='\0';
      for (k=0;k<=j-2;k++) newname[k]=newname[k+1];
      newname[k]='\0';
    
      printf("Enter Number: ");
      j=0;
      c=getc(stdin);
      do { c=toupper(c);
         newnum[j]=c;
         j++;
         c=getc(stdin); } while (c!='\n');
       newnum[j]='\0';
    
      if (binarySearch(tbp, ip, newname,n))
         { strcpy(tbp->entry[*ip].telnum,newnum);
           printf("Old Entry Modified\n"); }
      else { for (j=n; j>=*ip; j--)
               { strcpy(tbp->entry[j].name, tbp-> entry[j-1].name);
              strcpy(tbp->entry[j].telnum, tbp-> entry[j-1].telnum); }
           newname=fgetString(stdin);
           newnum=fgetString(stdin);
           free(tbp->entry[j].name);
           free(tbp->entry[j].telnum);
           strcpy(tbp-> entry[j].name,newname);
           strcpy(tbp-> entry[j].telnum,newnum);
           n++;
           printf("New entry inserted.\n"); }
    
      return n; }

    Here's my version of your insert function. It's different to yours, see how you get on with it. I haven't compiled it, and can't guarantee it will work, but it should give you an idea of how to do things.

    Also, using strcpy() all over the place in your program is going to get you into trouble. For example, say you have a pointer that you assigned a malloc'd sector of memory to, length of 10 bytes to hold a 9 byte name. You then go and copy a new name into that same memory area, but the name is 20 bytes long. Your compiler won't complain, but your program may or may not crash at some point. As you are using pointers, you need to work in a manner I have shown in my code below.

    Code:
    int insertNew(TelBook *tbp, int n, int *ip)
    {
      char *newname, *newnum;
      int j = -1;
      /*
       * read the two lines of input from the user
       */ 
      printf("Enter name: ");
      fflush(stdout);
      newname = fgetString(stdin);
      
      printf("Enter telnum: ");
      fflush(stdout);
      newnum = fgetString(stdin);
      
      if (newname != NULL && newnum != NULL)
      {
        strToUpper(name);
        if (binarySearch(tbp, ip, newname, n))
        {
          /* Update the telnum. Don't use strcpy, just free
           * the previous entry, and update the pointer
           */
          free(tbp->entry[*ip].telnum);
          tbp->entry[*ip].telnum = newnum;
          printf("Old Entry Modified\n");
          j = *ip;  /* For return purposes, you may choose otherwise */
        }
        else
        {
          /*
           * Loop through the array from the end backwards,
           * moving entries that are greater than the new name
           */
          for (j = n-1; j > 0; j--)
          {
            if (strcmp(tbp->entry[j].name, newname) > 0)
            {
              tbp->entry[j+1].name   = tbp->entry[j].name;
              tbp->entry[j+1].telnum = tbp->entry[j].telnum;
            }
            else break; /* Leave the loop early when we don't need to
                           do any more moves */
          }
          /*
           * Now j is set to where we want to insert the new item
           */
          tbp->entry[j].name   = newname;
          tbp->entry[j].telnum = newnum;
        }
      }
      
      return j; /* This could be -1 if the input failed */
    }
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
