Storing words in 2D array from text file

hangman1060

The goal is to read the words from a text file and store them in 2D array. Pointers aren't allowed. I have been struggling with this for a while and help with would be much appreciated. This is what I have so far:

#include <stdio.h>
 
FILE *fp;

char readFile();
 
int main(int argc, char *argv[])

{

    char ch, ar[50][10];

    int word, letter,i=0,j;

    if (argc != 2)

        puts("ERROR");
 
    else{

        fp = fopen(argv[1],"r");

        if (fp == NULL){                

            puts("cannot open file");

            return 1;

        }

        else    

            while(feof(fp) !=1){

                for (word=0;word<50;word++){

                    for (letter=0;letter<10;letter++){

                        ar[word][letter]=readFile(ar,fp);

                    }

                }
 
            }

            fclose(fp);

        }
 
    }

    return 0;

}

char readFile(char ar[][10], FILE*fp)

{

    char ch;

    fscanf(fp,"%c",&ch);
 
    return(ch);

}

That's nice, what was your actual question?
Was this program not working?
Did you get unexpected output or behaviour?
What was the unexpected behaviour?
What was the expected behaviour?
What was the input data?
