Hey. I"m trying to read a file of words into the array char* array[80] and I can't seem to make it work. I keep getting runtime errors when I use this:
Code:char* word[80]; char str[80]; while(b_file.eof()==0) { b_file>>str; len = strlen(str); word[i] = new (char[len]); word[i++] =str; }
What am I doing wrong?
> word[i] = new (char[len]);
You forgot to count the \0
so its
word[i] = new (char[len+1]);
> word[i++] =str;
Use strcpy
strcpy( word[i++], str );
> while(b_file.eof()==0)
Make sure you don't go too far
while( i < 80 && b_file.eof()==0)
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.
