Thread: Character array pointer

Code:

I am trying to store tokens in the 'arr' array but it prints wrong stuff... do you mind also explaining why it prints garbage?

  char *arr[30000];
  const char *delimiters=";,.1234567890 ";
  char *temp;
  int k;
  temp=strtok(file_data,delimiters);
  while(temp != NULL)
  {
    printf(" %s ", temp);
    k++;
    get=temp;;
    arr[k]= (char*)temp;
    temp=strtok(NULL,delimiters);
    printf("haha!! %s hoho\n",arr[k]);
  }

  }

in a quick look maybe because your forgot to initialize k to 0 ?

thanks.... that worked!!
