Why not?

The next part of the problem involved taking the newly "parsed" array of words, sorting them in alphabetical order and then printing them.



//prototypes
void ParseSentence(char...

Actually, I think I got it!

Changed the code in the for loop to:



for(i = 1; i < size - 1; i++)
{

words[i] = strtok(NULL, " .,;");

I see what you're saying, I have since moved on to the next part of this problem and it is causing me problems. While I am getting the printed output I desired, the words are not being stored in the...

OK, this time I think I've got it.



void ParseSentence(char *ptrA)
{
char temp[80];
int i;

strcpy(temp, ptrA);

looks like I spoke too soon.

no more seg fault, but not printing past the first word

hmm?

I don't know what I was thinking, I didn't need a while loop at all.
If I was smarter and read your advice thoroughly, I would have saved myself some time.

i.e. "You need to print until you run...

I'm not quite sure where you got the # 40 from. The default size of the buffer for user input is 80 chars. But what you suggest makes sense. I guess I should be using a while loop instead of a for...

I thought that there may be a possibility of another part of my program causing the problem
so I put everything regarding this function into it's own program to try and isolate the problem.
Here is...

Tried changing it to this, but same result.



void ParseSentence(char *ptrA)
{
char temp[80];
char *words[80];
strcpy(temp, ptrA);

Do I use an if statement for that?

like

if (character == NULL)
break;

Should I be copying the char array being passed to the function into a temp array before using strtok?

If so, how do I do that? I'm kinda new to C.

OK, I changed the code to the following.
Still getting the same result.



//prototype *was wrong in initial post*
void ParseSentence(char *ptrA);

//call in main
ParseSentence(Buffer3);

I am writing a function to parse a sentence and print each separate word on a new line.
For some reason, I keep getting a Seg fault. Can anyone please tell me what I am doing wrong?
It is...
