I am trying to write code that copy and print the word in text file on the screen with getline() and strchr() functions. so this is my code:
void read_teams(char* text)
{
FILE *fp=fopen(text,"r");
char* tname=NULL;
size_t tname_size=0;
while(getline(&tname,&tname_size,fp)!=EOF)
{
tname[strchr(tname,'\n')-tname]='\0';
printf("%s\n",tname);
}
fclose(fp);
}
when it is read strchr function it's show:
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
so why? i have to use this function with getline ,so don't tell me to write my code in other way please.
If the buffer does not contain a \n
character, then strchr()-tname
will be way before tname
. That will cause a seg fault. So use:
while(getline(&tname,&tname_size,fp)!=EOF)
{
char *p= strchr(tname,'\n');
if (p)
tname[p-tname]='\0';
printf("%s\n",tname);
}
