Indeed. also, gcc wont accept variables declared anywhere except the start
of a block. (not sure about other compilers).
Anyway, I wasnt going to respond, but as David mentioned, The segfault is
due to sQuote not pointing to a valid memory block. you'd need to malloc()
it, or give it a static size.
I cant remember, but I also seem to be thinking that fread() (? or was it
fgets?) doesnt add a null.. so you'd need to:
allocate 256 bytes to sQuote.
read 255 chars into sQuote.
set sQuote[256] to NULL
compare.
