new c programmer really needs help!

Hi everyone,
I'm new to C programming and I'm trying to write a program that can print text in columnar format with a maximum width.
I've been trying with this but I get a seg fault. Am I going about this the right way? Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks,
Cam

Code:

---

#include "columnarText.h"
#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>

void textPrint(const char *text, const int columnWidth){
        int lineLength = 0;
        int count = 0;
        int stop = 0;
        int finish = 0;
        while(stop!=1){
               
                char *currWord;
                int i=0;
                int k=count;
               
                while(strcmp(text[k]," ")!=0){
                        if(strcmp(text[k],"/0")==0){
                                finish = 1;
                                break;
                        }
                        currWord[i]=text[k];
                        k++;
                        i++;
                        count=k;
                }
                currWord[i]="/0";
                i=0;
               
                if((strlen(currWord)+lineLength)<column){
                        printf("%s",currWord);
                        lineLength+=strlen(currWord);
                }
                else{
                        printf("/n");
                        printf("%s",currWord);
                        lineLength = strlen(currWord);
                }
                if(finish==1){
                        stop=1;
                }
        }

}

int main(void)
{
        char *s = "This is a test string to test my program with.";
        textPrint(s,10);
        return 0;
}

char *currWord is a pointer; currently it points to nowhere in particular. Thus when you to try to set currWord[i], bad things happen.

strcmp(text[k]," ")
are you ignoring warnings or what?
text[k] is ONE char, you compare char-strings with strcmp, chars are compared as

Code:

---

if(text[k] == ' ')
