Thread: copy strings problem

a have a struct like this :

struct nodo_text
{
int entero1;
char* texto;
nodo_text* SIGUIENTE;
};

i have a simple text file, which i read with fgets to get the text, like this :

nodo_text* nodo_aux;
char line[255];

while (fgets(line, MAX_TEXT, hSource) != NULL)

up to here everything is ok. But because i want to implement a simple linked list, i do this too :

nodo_aux = new nodo_text;
nodo_aux->texto = line; /* HERE IS THE PROBLEM */

if i leave it like that, the last line that comes from the file i am reading stays in all the nodes of the list. I jsut want to copy from line to my text member node list!!!!

a cannot find a way to copy from line (an array) to
nodo_aux->texto. if i use strcpy like this :

strcpy(nodo_aux->texto, line);

i get an access violation error.

If i declare line to be :

char* line;

i get an assertion failed.

does anybody can help me???

thanks a lot in advance,

__Dgc

but then i have a limited text width of 255, which is something i dont want, cause i am getting data from a stream, and this could be larger than 255 at the first line.

how can i copy from line[255] to char* texto????

thanks for your reply.

thank you. i used

nodo_Text-> = new char[MAX_TEXT];

it worked fine.

thank you very much.
