Here's a project I just took off of the "waiting to die" pile. It is a super-simple money-managing program that reads data line-by-line from a txt file. Everything is Shibby except for when the name of the current account is read in. It is read just fine, however, when I pass it to the label(char*) function, it dies. I cannot display the char* in the label function without an error. Here's the name-reading portion of the code and the account label function.
Code:case NAME: { Reader.getline(buffer, 55); if(Reader.eof()) { active = false; break; } cout << "DEBUG: Buffer at case <name> <ReadInAccounts()>:" << buffer << endl;//works CurrentAccount.label(buffer);//Error at this call SaveAccount(CurrentAccount); read_state = MONEY; }break;I'll note also, that if later in the program (after all of the data is read in) I try to access the name of the account, it is simply a blank string.Code:int ACCNT::label(char *InputName) { if(isnamed) name = InputName; else { name = InputName; isnamed = true; } //cout << "DEBUG: name passed into <label()>" << InputName << endl;//DEBUG... causes a crash //cout << "DEBUG: account name at <label()>: " << name << endl;//DEBUG... causes a crash return 0; }
