Re: Cannot return values of char variable

Hi,
yup fuction sinature should be char* and more over when you passing
char* from main to temp and temp to alterstring make sure in
alterstring plays around with its value not address.
else pass alterstring(&string)----making its signature.
char* alterstring(char** str).This way your return string would hold
the new allocated memory address and its value.

Regards
Ap

Hi there once more........

Instead of showing all the code my problem is simple.

I've tried to create this function:

char temp(char *string){

alterString(string);
return string;
}

char alterString(char *string){}

temp receives a string and uses the alterString to modify it.

My issue is simple, when i pass the argument string to alterString it
appears in the function alterString has being empty.

I've tried changing the signatures of the functions to
char temp(char string){
char alterString(char string){}


but the issue still occurs......


Can please somebody give me just a little example of the working
function.......... it would really help.....

thanks in advance for every support you have given to me this night.
