Please help me while dereferencing a pointer array

[rasmidas]

Hi,
I am having the following block of code. Should I use a NULL checking for tokens[i], where ever there is *tokens[i]. Please let me know soon.

while( !infile.eof() )
{
DmgString lineStr;

char str[500];
infile.getline (str, 499 );
lineStr = str;

if( lineStr.IsBlank() == dmgYES )
{
continue;
}
else
{
lineStr.NoSpaces();
lineStr.ToUpper();

DmgPtrList<DmgString> tokens;
lineStr.Tok(',',tokens);

if ( tokens[0] != NULL )
{
int i = 0;

if ( strcmp( (const char*)*tokens[i],
(const char*) "TRADETYPE" ) == 0 )
{
for ( i = 1; i<tokens.entries(); i++ )
{
tradeTypeList.insert( new DmgString ( *tokens[i] ) );
}
}
else if ( strcmp(
(const char*)*tokens[i], "DOCFUNCTION" ) == 0 )
{
for ( i = 1; i<tokens.entries(); i++ )
{
docFunctionList.insert( new DmgString ( *tokens[i] ) );
}
}
}
}
}



Thanks in advance.

Please re-post using code tags and proper indentation.

It's hard to read your code.

Here I am posting with proper indentation but I dont know what is code tag.

while( !infile.eof() )
{
DmgString lineStr;

char str[500];
infile.getline (str, 499 );
lineStr = str;

if( lineStr.IsBlank() == dmgYES )
{
continue;
}
else
{
lineStr.NoSpaces();
lineStr.ToUpper();

DmgPtrList<DmgString> tokens;
lineStr.Tok(',',tokens);

if ( tokens[0] != NULL )
{
int i = 0;

if ( strcmp( (const char*)*tokens[i],
(const char*) "TRADETYPE" ) == 0 )
{
for ( i = 1; i<tokens.entries(); i++ )
{
tradeTypeList.insert( new DmgString ( *tokens[i] ) );
}
}
else if ( strcmp(
(const char*)*tokens[i], "DOCFUNCTION" ) == 0 )
{
for ( i = 1; i<tokens.entries(); i++ )
{
docFunctionList.insert( new DmgString ( *tokens[i] ) );
}
}
}
}
}

docFunctionList.insert( new DmgString ( *tokens[i] ) );
}
}
}
}
}

is not indented.

The code tags are shown iun the Reply Guildlines that's just to the right of the posting window. You are probably losing the indentation due to no code tags.

[ code = cpp ]

code goes here

[ /code ]

The actual code tags are like the ones above without the embedded spaces.
