Strange problem

[AngKar]

Hi,

Could anyone please explain this problem to me?
I use:

while(!feof(f))
		  {
			fgets (all_id, 100 , f);
			sscanf (all_id,"%*s %s %s",a_id,d_id);
			str[i] = a_id;
                        printf("\n%s",str[i]);
			strtok(a_id,"G");
			ida = strtok (NULL, "G");
			idsa[i]=atoi(ida);
			
			i++;
			
		  }

printf("\n%s",str[2]);

Even if I use strncpy in place of strtok, the value retained by the str is the last value assigned to it using str[i]=a_id!
Why cannot the str retain its value outside loop?
I'll be obliged if anyone could explain this fundamental misconception of mine?

Thanks,
Angkar

Precisely I see its a stale value! When I switch back to strtok again, its throwing the value of the last result that I got using strncpy!!!

Try changing the loop to something other than feof. Why it's bad to use feof() to control a loop It can cause some wierd things about how many times the loop runs. Fix that, it might help.

What are the alternatives?

Sticking to one thread and not spamming the board would help.
