works in the book but not in my compiler

I am learning to program and this program is suppost to work in the book but it will not find anything. I'm stumped
Thanks

Code:

---

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


    char tracks[][80] = {
    "I left my Heart at Harvard Medical School",
    "Newark, Newark, You suck balls",
    "Dancing with a dork",
    "From Here to maternity",
    "The Girl from Iwo Jima",
    };


   
void find_track(char search_for[])
    {
          int i;
          for(i = 0; i<5; i++){
                if (strstr(tracks[i], search_for))
                printf("Track %i: '%s'\n",i,tracks[i]);
               
                else
                printf("Nothing found\n");
                }
    }


int main()
{
    char search_for[80];
   


    printf("Search for: ");
    fgets(search_for, 80, stdin);
    printf("search_for = '%s'\n", search_for);
    find_track(search_for);
   
    system("pause"); 
    return 0;
}

How does it not work? For example, what are the error messages? What compiler (including version) are you using?

I had to change system(pause) to getchar()

Also, you need to remove the '\n' from the input string after fgets

I changed the indentation style to Allman, but your way is fine.

Code:

---

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

char tracks[][80] =
{
    "I left my Heart at Harvard Medical School",
    "Newark, Newark, You suck balls",
    "Dancing with a dork",
    "From Here to maternity",
    "The Girl from Iwo Jima",
};

void find_track(char search_for[])
{
    int i;
    for(i = 0; i<5; i++)
    {
        if (strstr(tracks[i], search_for))
        {
            printf("Track %i: '%s'\n",i,tracks[i]);
            break;
        }
        else if (4 == i)  // So the "nothing found" is only printed when everything is searched.
        {
            printf("Nothing found\n");
        }
    }
}


int main(void)
{
    char search_for[80];
    char *ch;

    printf("Search for: ");
    fflush(stdout); // Because string doesn't end in \n

    fgets(search_for, 80, stdin);
    if ((ch = strchr(search_for, '\n')) != NULL)
    {
        *ch = '\0';
    }

    printf("search_for = '%s'\n", search_for);
    find_track(search_for);

    //system("pause");
    puts("Press enter to continue...");
    getchar();

    return 0;
}

[edit]
laserlight has a really good way of removing the \n from the end of a fgets string - I just can't remember it at the moment...

Yuck, double yuck in fact!

Just do "if (i == 5)" after the loop.

There is nothing wrong with a bit of Yoda script!
