getline line by line and then store entire lines in an array in C [closed]

Answer 1

char **array;



array = malloc(bufsize * sizeof(char));

array[i] = line;

I think your problem is with array, you are indeed dynamically allocating memory for array but not array[i].

while ((getline(&line, &bufsize, fp)) != -1) { 
array[i]=malloc(sizeof(char) * (bufsize+1));
printf("%s", line);
array[i] = line;
i++;

}

This should fix it

Edit after testing the program:

array = malloc(bufsize * sizeof(char));

should be

array = malloc(bufsize * sizeof(char*));
