it is an array

As a note, the extra param of "4" in the call to scanf is not necessary.

i agree it would be easier to use CString. And as for the " = {0}" compiles and runs for me. VS 2010 express char* someCharArray = {0}; printf("someCharArray(%s)\n", someCharArray); with output of: "someCharArray = ((NULL))"

i changed "thename" to a char array and it worked for me: // Test.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application. // #include "stdafx.h" #include <stdio.h> //struct definition struct sample { char *name; char *addr; char *city; char *state; char *zip; char *phone...

Did any of that help fix it?

print out "thename" as soon as you do your scanf. move the struct above the definition of "int main." Include the default constructor with the initializer list. in main: sample Asample; //instance of defaulted struct ... printf("Enter Name"); scanf("%s",thename); //verify "thename"...

after these lines: printf("Enter Name"); scanf("%s",thename); add printf("thename = %s\n", thename); see if you can see what the actual value is prior to doing anything with the structure.

also, you may want to create a constructor for the struct which defaults the members: struct sample{ char *name; char *addr; char *city; char *state; char *zip; char *phone; //constructor with initializer list(everything to 0)...

same as in the other post: char* thename = {0}; try defining the struct outside/above the definition of main

char thename will only accept a single char, you would need to make it a char array or a char*. http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/cstdio/scanf/

char* newphrase = {0}; //zero out the memory then after that, it would depend on what youre actually trying to do with the function. the original post says translate the phrase. translate how? what are the desired results? obviously to create and return a new string, but with what...

a quick google search("ado.net c++") returned this: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/mcpp/adodemo.aspx http://www.codeproject.com/KB/database/adonet_mcpp.aspx

sorry.. newphrase will be populated with nothing but "A"s whenever a space is found. so it should return a char* populated with "A"s

well as your code reads: You populate newPhrase with nothing but ' ' (spaces). then you return the newly build "newPhrase" which is some length of nothing but spaces. sk2 holds all of the characters that arent spaces(built but not used). what is the desired result of this function?

how did you fix it?

:-)

let us know how you fixed it, so everyone can see the solution.

have you tried using the copy method of the string class? http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/string/string/copy/ or you could also do a memcpy: http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/cstring/memcpy/ where you would get your length/size via sizeof(your char*)/sizeof(char). will give you...

Your array type is "char." Char takes a single character, while your trying to push in actual strings. you would either need to make the type of wordarray char*, or CString, or the always fun array or char arrays.. wordarray[][]. Also it should be noted that strings need to be encapsulated...

you declare: string getRandomSecretWord(const string& = "secretwords.txt"); and then define it as: string getRandomSecretWord(int secret_word_counter,const string& file_name) { ifstream secret_words; string secret_word; so your declaration says it should expect 1 paramter(or zero...
