I'm reading in a file into an array, but when I print out the first element of the array it's always the last line of the file. How can I avoid doing this?
Specifically I want to store the lines into each array element. I'm not sure exactly how to explain myself but I hope someone will understand. Here's a sample of my code
Code:while( j < 8) { fgets(storeS,100,dataCar); strcpy(ssheet[i],storeS); printf("%s",ssheet); j++; } printf("%s",ssheet[0]);
That should probably be j.Code:while( j < 8) { fgets(storeS,100,dataCar); strcpy(ssheet[i],storeS); printf("%s",ssheet); j++; } printf("%s",ssheet[0]);
It is too clear and so it is hard to see.
A dunce once searched for fire with a lighted lantern.
Had he known what fire was,
He could have cooked his rice much sooner.
The fact that you are using j as a counter in your loop and using i as an index in your array might have something to do with it.
1. Get rid of gets(). Never ever ever use it again. Replace it with fgets() and use that instead.
2. Get rid of void main and replace it with int main(void) and return 0 at the end of the function.
3. Get rid of conio.h and other antiquated DOS crap headers.
4. Don't cast the return value of malloc, even if you always always always make sure that stdlib.h is included.
Oops! I was trying out different things and forgot to change it back. Thanks
