Thread: Read and compare file contain array of string

Hi all,

I'm using C to read file contain array of string. The file contain this array:

Code:

{"Robin Van Persie","Alan Shearer","Bacary Sagna","Juergen Klinsmann"}

I want to compare those array of string with char array. Here's what I've done so far:

Code:

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


int main(void)
{
  FILE *fp;
  char name[] = "Alan Shearer";
  int i;
  char *content[4];
  
  /* read the values */
  if((fp=fopen("test.txt", "r"))==NULL) {
    printf("Cannot open file.\n");
  }


  fgets(*content,sizeof(*content),fp);
  for(i=0;i<sizeof(content);i++) {
	if(strcmp(content[i],name)==0) {
	    printf("%s found",name);
	}
  }   
  
  return 0;
}

when I run compiled program it shows error message:
2 [main] myfile 2108 exception::handle: Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION 1182 [main] myfile 2108 open_stackdumpfile: Dumping stact trace to myfile.exe.stackdump

Please help me, I'm new bie in C programming..

Didin
