getcwd( )

Can anyone tell me why this programm causes an ilegal operation please.

Code:

---

int main( int argc, char *argv )
{

      puts(getcwd( argv, argv[1] ));
 
      getch( );
 
      return 0;
 
}

---

Code:

---

int main( int argc, char *argv )

---

For starters, that's wrong. It should be:

Code:

---

int main( int argc, char *argv[] )

---

Next, you probably shouldn't be trying to modify argv. Make your own buffer, and use it instead.

Quzah.

sorry im new to c.. when you say make your own buffer you mean as in,

Code:

---

char buff[80];

---

or should i copy argv[1] to buff[80]?

been learning for a few days day & nite so forgive for my lack knowledge

sorry i got it.. i should of just tried it instead of posting. thank you again
