comparing pointers/strings

[ayoros]

Hello, I have a problem of segment violation in the strcmp line.

First I use "guardaFichero" and when i try to search the string with the function "buscaFichero" it fails, can you help me please?

char *ficherosLeidos[NUMMAXINCLUDES];

...

void guardaFichero(char *fichero){

ficherosLeidos[numFich]=malloc(strlen(fichero)+1);
strcpy(ficherosLeidos[numFich],fichero);
printf("Agregado el fichero: %s\n",ficherosLeidos[numFich]);

}

....

int buscaFichero(char *fichero){
int i=0;

	for(i=0;i<NUMMAXINCLUDES;i++){
		if (strcmp(ficherosLeidos[i],fichero)==0) {
			printf("Fichero repetido.\n");
			return (1); 
		}
	}
return 0;
}

Perhaps use numFich to limit the loop, rather than assuming all entries have been used.

Also, do you check numFich < NUMMAXINCLUDES before doing this
ficherosLeidos[numFich]=malloc(strlen(fichero)+1);
(you should).

yeah, using numFich to limit the loop..it works. I thoght my problem was about pointers (I've forget all that stuff...).

Thank You Salem!
