The following code produces no errors, but a simple warning suggesting that I use strncpy_s (because its safer on windows). The program will crash after it has compiled and it doesn't say why. Here is my code:

char* delSubStr(char *string,char *target)

{

int i, index;

int sublen = strlen(target);

int strilen = strlen(string);

char *pos, *temp;

temp = (char *)calloc(sizeof(temp)+1, sizeof(temp));

pos = strstr(string,target);

index = string - pos;

while (pos!=NULL)

{

strncpy(temp,string,index);

for (i =(index+1); i <=(strilen-1); i++)

{

temp[i] = string[i+sublen+1];

//strcpy((*string+i),*(string+i+1+sublen));

//string[i] = string[i+1+sublen];

}string = NULL;

}

return (temp);

Can anyone suggest a better method that prevents overlap in sub-string deletion and another string pointer being made temporarily? some alternative methods I have tried withint the for-loop have been commented out. If they look more promising just say. 

heya, I've been having an issue with this bit of code

int FindKeywordInFile(){

int LoopCountTwo;

char Text[RESPONSELENGTH];

FILE *FilePointer;

for (LoopCountOne = 0;LoopCountOne <= 16; LoopCountOne ++){

*Converter = WordArray[LoopCountOne][LoopCountTwo];

strcat(Temp,Converter);

}

}

}

}

}

the array WordArray[17][21] is global, the problem seems to be with the line strcat(Temp,Converter);  If i /**/ it out the program works fine but with it in the program crashes as soon as it gets to it. Generaly the idea is that i've got a 2d array where keywords have been seperated out and now i need to put them into a single variable one at a time so I can match the input word with a keyword stored in a file, if anyone can see how I can fix this or has another way round please let me know.

Many Thanks

Please note: as you have not covered strings in C++ yet, these have not been included in this example. I will update the files when strings have been covered, either in lectures or in tutorials. 

Using the class in your main function:

Read pages 9-11 (Term 2 Week 4 lecture 2)

Instantiate some objects with students (they do not have names yet, as strings are not used). Name the object after the student, then use the methods of the class to change some details. Then print the values of those objects.

For example:

sseStudent bob;

bob.setDegree(3);   

/*using a code to represent the degree course - we haven't actually specified what code is for what course yet...*/

//we can use comments like this in C++

bob.setApplied(true);

cout << "Bob is on degree program " << bob.getDegree() << "." << endl;

if(bob.isApplied())

{

    cout << "Bob is on an applied course." << endl;

}

Please ask for help if you need it. Feel free to expand the class or create your own examples of objects/classes - I'm always appreciative of good ideas! 

Here are some examples of pointers used in the tutorials last week. Please ask any questions you need to on this board.

Contains a bunch of online books and tutorials on the matter.

So yeah, post your own links if you know of any good ones.

 Does anyone see what the trouble is?

 *Above Problem Solved, new one below*

I fill the sets variable during the Network class constructor. It is declared in the Network.h file.

The contents are verified before the constructor returns.After it returns, sets is empty but the other class variables have the appropriate values

Does anyone have any hints of what may cause this? 

That way, if you're having great fun in your practicals, you can hop on here and help out and if you're finding that some things go over your head, you can post in here and get help from the (hopefully) friendly people who join.
