2 New Member
Hi!
I wanted to thank you a lot for the help given yesterday...
It`s so great to have people so well prepared trying to help you!

I have another problem: the bold line :
strcat want a pointer as argument, but probably i'm mistaking it ... can anybody help me?


#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

main ()
{
int i;
char j;
char *ip;

for (i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
ip=&j;
for (j = 0; j<3; j++)
{
FILE *fp;

char filename[17] ;

if (i == 0)
{
strcpy(filename , "injection-0");
if (j==0) strcat(filename ,"_11.txt");
else if (j==1) strcat (filename,*ip);
else if (j==2) strcat (filename,"_12. txt");
}
if ((fp = fopen(filename, "w")) != NULL)
{
fprintf(fp, "mass_part mass_flow_part diam_part accretion surf_ID cel_ID temp vel_abs vel_nor vx vy vz Ax Ay Az Angle Wa Wb Wc WEAR\n");
fclose(fp);
}

Hi, I have the following code: char request = "GET "; strcat(request, path); //Path is the path section of a url ie. "/path/test.htm" strcat(request, " HTTP/1.1"); cout<<request<<"\n"; //This outputs "GET /path/test.htm HTTP/1.1" happily //Send packet (I know there's no error checking, this is just an example)

Hi, Continuing my strcat segmentation fault posting- I have a problem which occurs when appending two sting literals using strcat. I have tried to fix it by writing my own function that does the strcat (mystract). Program below. However this appears not to have fixed the problem and I don't know why it shouldn't ? Any further help as to what else I am doing wrong will be appreciated regards
