Here is my code, The problem is that all the strings of allwords[i] change to the same string in the last of the code
My Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
void print(int size, char *string)
{
char* word;
char** allwords;
word = malloc(size*sizeof(char));
allwords = malloc(sizeof(char*));
int c = -1;
for(int i = 0; i < size; i++)
{
if((*(string + i) == *(string))) /* if the start of the string is the same string of the original string */
{
for (int j = i; j < size; j++)
{
c++;
int k;
for (k = 0; k <= j - i; k++)
word[k] = string[k];
for(int s = k; s < strlen(word); s++) /* prevents unknown symbols */
word[s] = '\0';
allwords = realloc(allwords,(c+1)*sizeof(char*));
allwords[c] = malloc(strlen(word) * sizeof(char));
allwords[c] = word;
for(int f = 0; f <= c; f ++) /* Deletes all the similar strings, and keeps only one */
for(int t = f + 1; t < c; t++)
if(allwords[f] == allwords[t])
allwords[t] = '\0';
printf("%s\n",allwords[c]); /* prints the current string */
printf("%s\n",allwords[0]); /* To check if allwords[0] has changed or not during the code */
}
}
}
}
Input: (3 , "abc") Output: a a ab ab abc abc
allwords[0] , allwords[1] , allwords[2] , all of them have "abc", but what I want is:
allwords[0] = "a" , allwords[1] = "ab" , allwords[2] = "abc"
I think that the problem is from malloc of allwords, but I don't know what I have to do to fix it, any suggestions ?.
Here is the answer from a friend
Replacing allwords[c] = word;
by:
strcpy(allwords[c] , word);
Reason: " Otherwise, you are copying pointers, and word changes along your flow – "
