fscanf problem

[Nenad Zivic]

Hi everyone. I got a problem with, i suppose fscanf. I need to read strings from a .txt file, line by line, a total of 200 lines. But it seems that fscanf can read only up to 30 lines, after that, it stops working, and offers Debug or Close...
Here's the code...

FILE* f;

f=fopen("D:\\data.txt","r");

...............

for(int i=1;i<=velbaze;i++){
fscanf(f,"%s",&pojmovi[i]);
printf("%s\n",pojmovi[i]);


};

where velbaze is 200.

What could be the problem?

Tnx in advance,
Nenad.

What is pojmovi? How is it declared?

If you are reading lines of text, you should skip fscanf() altogether and use fgets():
http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/cstdio/fgets/

If you must use fscanf(), make sure you put an upper limit on the number of characters to store using a width specifier. Make sure to read the docs:
http://linux.die.net/man/3/scanf
Note, in particular, that the width does not include space needed to store the terminating '\0'.

char s[ 50 ];
fgets( s, 50, f );  // reads an entire line, including the newline character 

char s[ 50 ];
fscanf( f, "%49s", s ); // discards leading whitespace, stops on whitespace 

char s[ 50 ];
fscanf( f, "%49[^\n]\n", s ); // like fgets(), but does not store the newline character 

Hope this helps.

Pojmovi is declared as:

char pojmovi[40][1000]

I tried fgets(), the same exact problem, after 30. string it stops working....

Tnx for the effort.

Considering that as Duoas said, fscanf does not read lines with the %s specifier, but instead words, and that fgets reads lines, it probably indicates that the IO is not the problem. I mean you should have gotten the error at different loop iterations, unless each line of your input file contains exactly one word.

OMG, i missdeclared pojmovi[]...

It should have been char pojmovi[1000][40]. Question closed, Thank yoe, everyone.
