Segmentation fault

[Gaurinn]

Hi all,

I´m stuck here. I´m trying to get a single word from an array.
After the text "Sometext10" comes a word of 6 letters, which I want to get.
I don´t know what is wrong with this code.
I always get segmentation fault, when it comes to run the strncpy command: strncpy (blu,tmp1,len);

Can someone help me with this problem?

void get_acid(char blu[50])
{
    const char *message = array.text;
    const char *smallstring1 = "Sometext10"; 
    char *ptr1;
 
    ptr1 = strstr(message, smallstring1);
    char *tmp1 = ptr1+10; //beginning of word
    int len = 6; //length of word
    strncpy (blu,tmp1,len);
    blu[len]='\0';
}

Without more context, I would suggest using a debugger or printf statements to determine what is going on. Looks to be that the problem is coming from your caller.
