Any hints on how I would dynamically allocate myArray so I can enter any amount of strings and it would store correctly.
int main()
{
char myArray[1][1]; //how to dynamically allocate the memory?
counter = 0;
char *readLine;
char *word;
char *rest;
printf("\n enter: ");
ssize_t buffSize = 0;
getline(&readLine, &buffSize, stdin);//get user input
//tokenize the strings
while(word = strtok_r(readLine, " \n", &rest )) {
strcpy(myArray[counter], word);
counter++;
readLine= rest;
}
//print the elements user has entered
int i =0;
for(i = 0;i<counter;i++){
printf("%s ",myArray[i]);
}
printf("\n");
}
Use realloc like this:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
int main(void){
char **myArray = NULL;
char *readLine = NULL;
size_t buffSize = 0;
size_t counter = 0;
char *word, *rest, *p;
printf("\n enter: ");
getline(&readLine, &buffSize, stdin);
p = readLine;
while(word = strtok_r(p, " \n", &rest )) {
myArray = realloc(myArray, (counter + 1) * sizeof(*myArray));//check omitted
myArray[counter++] = strdup(word);
p = NULL;
}
free(readLine);
for(int i = 0; i < counter; i++){
printf("<%s> ", myArray[i]);
free(myArray[i]);
}
printf("\n");
free(myArray);
}
