so frustrated!!!!

i am scanning a input file and storing it to a string array.

char *station[][MAX]={0};
int scount=0;

do {
station[scount]=gets(sstr);
scount++;
} while (strcmp("####",sstr) != 0);

when i print out my array.. it is overwritten with "####"

for(i=0;i<scount;i++) {
printf("%s\n" station[i]);
}

this is my output.
####
####
####
####
####
####
####
####

i try to fix this by making my array to a 2x2 array.. but i can't get it to work correctly.. could someone help me??

Here's one way to do it.

Code:

---

#include <string.h>
char *station[MAX]={0};
int scount=0;

do {
  gets(sstr);
  station[scount] = malloc(strlen(sstr)+1);
  strcpy(station[scount],sstr);
  scount++;
} while (strcmp("####",sstr) != 0);

//when i print out my array.. it is overwritten with "####"

for(i=0;i<scount;i++) {
  printf("%s\n",station[i]);
}

---

Or you can do it like this and leave out the line above with malloc().

char station[MAX][80]={0};

It helps if you actually provide all of the information we need to assist. Where is 'sstr' defined in your program? I see nothing eluding to it. We'll assume it's a file. What's in your file?

Quzah.
