    help with program

    I'm working on a program thats supposed to read a line in, then pass it to a function which prints the line one word per line, like this,
    >>>> ENTER A LINE:
    this is a test
    <<<< RESULT (4 words):
    this
    is
    a
    test

    the code below is just the snippet from the function. My problem is it gives me warnings saying, "[Warning] passing arg 1 of `getc' from incompatible pointer type" and "[Warning] passing arg 2 of `putc' from incompatible pointer type". I'm not real sure what I'm doing wrong, any help would be appericated

    Code:
    #define MAXLEN 128
    
    int mystrtokens(char line[], char *words)
    {
        /* Variables */    
        char read[128];    
        char ch;
        char *word[MAXLEN]; 
        int count;
        int i = 0;
        do
        {        	
            do
            {
                ch = getc(*word);
                if(isspace(ch) != 0)
                {
                    *word = line;
                }
                else (putc('\0', line));      	  
        	    ++i;
            }while (*word != ' ' && *word != '\0');
                	    
        	++count;
        }while(line != EOF);
        
        return *word, count;
    }
    sorry I added the variables now

    Well without seeing how you declared word or line (I'm guessing char or char*), it's hard to say.
    But getc and putc read and write a FILE* variable.

    > putc('\0', line)
    Perhaps \n would be better?
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
