Make title a CString and it should work fine.

Uhh....loooks like you've forgotten 1 extra for NUL terminated char...
text = (char*)malloc(sizeof(char) * (seven + 1));
And also...check for NULL if this fails...my c skills are a bit rusty so excuse if I trip up, from what I can remember this nice terse statement which was favourite of mine..
if (!(text = (char*)malloc(sizeof(char) * (seven+1)))){
...mem is gud...
}else{
...phffft...
}
this is a nice lil exercise since I used to program in C professionally, then switched over to C# cos the skillset was dwindling in the IT sector here in Ireland... not sure why you'd free the pointer though...I think that you'll have garbage in text_store.title...I could be way off here on this...
Take care,
Tom

I just spent an hour trying to think why the process didn't work.
for(int nindex = MIN_VAL; nindex <= MAX_VAL; nindex++);<br />
{<br />
}
Maybe everyone has these kind of moments.

I had that exact moment about 15 years ago in a C++ app. It took me half the day trying to figure out why the loop executed once and only once.

Me, too. I think it's a rite of passage for C programmers.

Yep right along with while (someBool = TRUE)

The compiler will help you if you are good enough to use the loop index in the loop body...

Only the more recent ones - VC6 for example promoted the loop index to scope outside the loop.

That is one of many reasons why VC6 is regarded as extremely braindead...
In fact it isn't a C++ compiler. Just a compiler that compiles a language looking a lot like C++...
Let's think the unthinkable, let's do the undoable, let's prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all.

A classic C/C++ error; you haven't been coding long enough if you haven't run into this one before.

I've been coding for about 5 years of my life. Maybe its more of the experience though. Since I haven't really encountered this until last time.

Ooh, that's a good one. I've had it before as well, and even now only after reading the first comment did I get it. I was going to say, it's not really a horror because we don't know what MIN_VAL and MAX_VAL are.

if it makes you feel any better, it took me about 5 mins of looking at it over and over again before i noticed what you were talking about
|
|
|
|
|

me too, then i saw it, the bug is on *beeeeeeeeep!* right there
|

*beeeep*
what's wrong...can't say "semicolon" ???

 nice one! actually it did!

I didn't get it until Marc's comment about the body only running once.

The rule of three: "The first time you notice something that might repeat, don't generalize it. The second time the situation occurs, develop in a similar fashion -- possibly even copy/paste -- but don't generalize yet. On the third time, look to generalize the approach."

Switch to a language that does not have loops (Haskell, for instance) and you won't have these problems any more

Oh my god....and I was looking ....and looking....and looking....
The conditional statement was fine....and I couldn't find it at all....keep looking and reading all the comments here. Couldn't find it.
I was about to give up and ask when BLAM!!!!! I saw it...there...
That never happened to me. Luckily! I've done similar though and lost a good 3~4 hours of time trying to figure it out.
I am actually surprised that this compiles though...and runs. Shouldn't the compiler complain about this?

No, it's perfectly valid to stuff all of the loops processing into the ( ; ; ) of a for statement and create a loop with no explicitly defined code block. This has it's uses, but I always just enjoyed using it to obfuscate my code

Yeah. While it should of course compile, I'd want this warning: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/9x19t380(vs.80).aspx[^]
