regex searching problem...it works, but doesnt stop

hi everyone,

i finally got my code to search mulitple times against a string..

ie. the string is :

<title>hi all</title><dummy>sdf</dummy><title>hi everone</title>

and i search for <title> and it returns me the positions (of >)

7 and 39 in the string( note: the 2nd title tag's > is 39 spaces away from the first title tags > )

this works only when i debug my code using gdb...but when i run it ...it gives me a segfault...also , the thing of main concern is that my search function keeps saying(after i found the last title tag) that there are more title tags..instead of exiting the loop..and i think this causes the seg fault..

my code hits the segfault in the bolded line below

thanks for any help

Code:

---


int* search(char *file, char *currentSearch, char *tagType) {
       
        int error = 0;
    regex_t re;
    size_t a = 1;
    regmatch_t arrayOfMatches[2];
        int counter=0;
        int *Matches;
   
    if (regcomp(&re, currentSearch, REG_EXTENDED|REG_ICASE) != 0) {

        return(0);     

    }
 
        /* Finds the matches on the line */
        error = regexec (&re, file, a, &arrayOfMatches[0], 0);

        /* while matches found */
        while (error == 0) {   
               
                if(strcmp(tagType,"start")==0){
                        printf(" %d ", arrayOfMatches[counter].rm_eo);
                       
                }
               
                else{
                        //Matches[counter] = arrayOfMatches[counter].rm_so;
                }
                                       
                    /* This call to regexec() finds the next match */
            error = regexec (&re, file + arrayOfMatches[counter].rm_eo, 1, &arrayOfMatches[counter+1], REG_NOTBOL);
           
                counter++;
    }
       
        regfree(&re);
   
    return Matches;

}

and this function is called like this..

Code:

---

startOfData = search("<title>hi all</title><dummy>sdf</dummy><title>hi everone</title>", "<title>", "start");
