Subject: Help with strings, pointers, returns, etc
Hello,
I am struggling with my long time nemesis again - strings in C. I
have a function I'm writing that will read in a file, assign each line to
a subscript in an array, and return the array. Problem is I can't get pass
the returning. Suggestions welcome. Code follows. Thanks a ton.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include "file.h"
char *read_file()
{
char line[10][80];
int i;
FILE *budget;
if((budget = fopen("/home/martinja/.bashrc", "r"))==NULL) {
printf("Cannot open config file\n");
exit(1);
}
for(i=0; i<10; i++) {
fgets(line[i], 80, budget);
printf("%s", line[i]); // This tests if line reads
// correctly
}
fclose(budget);
return ??? //help here please!
}

B.T.W. The include file "file.h" just has the declaration for "read_file".
