I am trying to program a header that prevents line wrap in the console. The problem is that I keep getting a Segmentation fault error in seemingly strange places. Here is the code:
I call the function with:Code:#include <iostream> using namespace std; const int LINEWIDTH = 80; // this holds the width of the line int counter1 = 1; // records the current position on the current line int counter2 = 0; // records the current position in the string as it is being checked int counter3 = 0; // records the length of the current word int counter4 = 0; // records how much of the word has been printed int counter5 = 0; // records the current position in the string as it is being printed bool loop = true; void lineWrap (char string[]) { while(counter1 < LINEWIDTH) // loops if the current position on the line is before the the specified line width { while(string[counter2] != ' ') // this finds the length of the current word, stored in counter3 { counter2++; counter3++; } if(counter3 <= ((counter1 - LINEWIDTH) / -1)) // this checks to see if there is sufficent space to print the word before running { // out of space on the current line while(counter4 != counter3) // this prints the current word { cout<<string[counter5]; counter5++; counter4++; counter1++; } } else // if there isn't sufficent space to print the next word then this will start a new line and restart the line position counter { cout<<endl; counter1 = 1; } counter2++; counter3 = 0; counter4 = 0; } }
Every time I compile and run the program though, I get this output:Code:lineWrap("This is a long string of text to see if the lineWrap function will prevent linewrap");
I realize that segmentation faults are a common issue, and I tried to search the forums for an answer, but I still couldn't figure out my problem. Thanks.Code:This is a long string of text to see if the lineWrap functio Segmentation fault Press ENTER to continue.
