Problem with the function parameters when calling a function

[JaneDoor]

When I am trying to call a function, the parameters that I have tried so far have just resulted in the terminal saying that 'too few arguments to function' and what I can tell that it wants written there is the parameters from when it was declared. I have read a few different documents about this and what the calling parameters are and the different between calling by value or by reference but I am still not able to figure out the problem.
Below is the main section of code that has the call functions in it along with some variables.

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

char *listwords;

processfile(listwords); //<- this is the line that is causing the problem

WordList mylist;

initialiselist(&mylist);

addword(&mylist, createfillednode(listwords));

printlist(&mylist);
}//main()

 //process the file
void processfile(WordList *wordList, int argc, char *argv[])
{//process file
    //file pointer
    FILE *f;
    //open the file
    f = fopen(argv[1], "r");
    //check it opened correctly
    if(f == NULL)
    {//if statement
        printf("cannot read file\n");
    }//if statement

    fseek(f, 0, SEEK_END);

    //declare variables
    char *listwords;
    long size = ftell(f);
    char *token;

    //seek beginning of file
    fseek(f, 0, SEEK_SET);
    //set the size of array to the file size
    listwords = (char*)malloc(size+1);
    listwords[size] = '\0';
    //reads the data from the file
    fread(listwords, size, 1, f);

    int i;
    for(i=0; (token = strsep(&listwords, " ")); i++)
    {//for loop replace certain characters with spaces
        if (token != ".")
        {
            //pointer from the token to the dictionary
            wordList->token;
        }else if (wordList->token != "!")
        {
            //pointer from the token to the dictionary
            wordList->token;
        }else if (token != "?")
        {
            //pointer from the token to the dictionary
            wordList->token;
        }else if (token != "\"")
        {
            //pointer from the token to the dictionary
            wordList->token;
        }else if (token != ","){
            //pointer from the token to the dictionary
            wordList->token;
        }else
        {
            //pointer from the token to the dictionary
            wordList->token;
        }
        //increment token to the next word
        token++;
    }//for loop replace certain characters with spaces
    fclose(f);
    return;
}//process file

I'm not sure if you would need any more code but I will post any more thats necessary. Thank you in advance.

You should post the definition (or at least the prototype) of the "processfile()" function.

If you're getting a "too few arguments" error, then the function expects more than just the single argument you're passing to it.

Please post the smallest possible complete program that illustrates the problem. The snippet you've shown is not nearly enough to figure out your problem.

Check the value of the 'argc' in main function

[Matticus]

I didn't see that you edited your post with the requested code.

void processfile(WordList *wordList, int argc, char *argv[])  // the function expects three arguments

processfile(listwords);  // you are passing only one argument to this function

And, as ArunS pointed out, be sure to check the value of "argc" before attempting to access "argv[1]".
