Ok.
if (!str_cmp (word, "Bestname"))
{
tmp = fread_string (fp);
strcpy (bfield_data.best_ratio.name, tmp);
free_string (tmp);
fMatch = TRUE;
break;
}
Correct?
Can I then use tmp again at a different point without running into trouble?
I.E. later:
if (!str_cmp (word, "Mostkname"))
{
tmp = fread_string (fp);
strcpy(bfield_data.most_kills.name, tmp);
free_string(tmp);
fMatch = TRUE;
break;
}
