Thread: Small program crash with C++ Bloodshev

this is my code

Code:

#include <stdio.h>//standard input and output

{

strcpy(&pointer[i],database[i][0]);


if (strcmp(&initial,&pointer[i])==0)


for (j=0;j<100;j++)
{
strcpy(&pointer2[i][j],database[i][j]);

if ((strcmp(&final[0][0],&pointer2[i][j])==0))


puts(&database2[i][0]);


}
}
}


   system("pause");
    return(0);
}

It crashes after it had found a letter in the database that matches the first letter of the initial input. The purpose is just to find a string in the database that matches the given starting letter and ending letter.

I'm not sure why it crashes... sorry if this is asking a lot. oh and i moved the database a little to not stretch the post

oh. Thank you for the help. its working better.
my bad on the wrong section thing. I just looked at the top right and it said Dev-C++ :S
