Reading from a file to string using a function

[micker2g]

Hello everyone!
I have a school project Im having issues with, well just one part rather. Here is my code im trying to implement as a function that reads a company address from a file: (this code is functional

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


typedef char STR30[30]; // programmer defined data type
typedef STR30 STR30Address[3]; // another pddt ...
using namespace std;


int main(void)
{
        STR30Address info;
        FILE * checkInFile;     
        int i;                  
        checkInFile = fopen("./CompanyInfo.txt","rt");
        if (checkInFile == NULL)                        
        {
          printf("  Can't open check descriptions file ...\n");
          while (getchar() != '\n');
          exit(-300); // reqs <stdlib.h>
        }
    for(i=0; i < 3; i++)
        {
        fgets(info[i],80,checkInFile); //read max 80 bytes from current rec.
         info[i][strlen(info[i])-1] = 0; // replace /n with /o terminator
        }
    fclose(checkInFile);
        for(i=0; i < 3; i++)
          printf("   %-30s\n",info[i]);
        fflush(stdin),getchar();
        return 0;
}

And this is my attempt at the function with the variable info[3][30] passed by reference (not working right):

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


typedef char STR30[30]; // programmer defined data type
typedef STR30 STR30Address[3]; // another pddt ...
using namespace std;
void getCompanyInfo(STR30Address *info);
int main(void)
{
        STR30Address info;;
        getCompanyInfo(&info);
        for(int i=0; i < 3; i++)
          printf("   %-30s\n",info[i]);
        fflush(stdin),getchar();
        return 0;
}
void getCompanyInfo(STR30Address *info)
{


        FILE * checkInFile;
        int i;                  //loop counter
        checkInFile = fopen("./CompanyInfo.txt","rt");
        if (checkInFile == NULL)
        {
          printf("  Can't open check descriptions file ...\n");
          while (getchar() != '\n');
          exit(-300); // reqs <stdlib.h>
        }
    for(i=0; i < 3; i++)
        {
        fgets(*info[i],35,checkInFile); //read max 35 bytes from current rec.
         *info[i][strlen(*info[i])-1] = 0; // replace /n with /o terminator
        }
    fclose(checkInFile);
}

Its giving me this output:

Sabre Corporation
            
   Uҋ                           
   ?I?Ȉ                     


Segmentation fault (core dumped)

It should be a 3 line address pulled from a txt file.
My suspicion is the fgets line.

Any Help would be greatly appreciated!

I think the problem is with the parenthesis, you are dereferencing the pointer wrongly. Try changing your code to this:

fgets((*info)[i],35,checkInFile);
(*info)[i][strlen((*info)[i])-1] = '\0';

Also, check why fflush(stdin) is wrong.

Thank you! This worked like a charm. And as for fflush(stdin), I did not know that. Good to know.

You're welcome!
Glad I could help.
