Thread: reading strings from .txt and entering in an array

You're just freeing the FIRST element of wordArray.

Code:

	for(j = 0; j < numWords-1; j++) {
	  printf("&#37;d: %s ", j, wordArray[j]);
	  free(wordArray[j]);
	}

	free(wordArray);
	return 0;

That is exactly how I have had it since you first mentioned the memory leak. If that is not the solution I don't know what is and at this point I couldn't care less.
