I'm a beginner. Programming C++, using Visual Studio 2010<br><br> I have keep having the error: "<em>Run-Time Check Failure #2 - Stack around the variable 'file' was corrupted.</em>" <br> what I thought was that I shouldn't make the "*char file[file_l];*" the same length as others, so I changed it to "*char file[file_l+1];<em>" Apparently, problem solved, no more error. Could you please let me know whether this is the right way to fix this error? <br> <br> Also, the program didn't print all the HTML code of the webpage in to the file "</em>"Summer Research testing.txt"*"as I wanted. it didn't print from the line 1 and always stopped at line 209. I have changed things around, but very little progress. please help.<br> <br> Any help is greatly appreciated!</p>
