POAdding to char array isn't working

Body
copied!<p>I'm trying to read a text file line by line, and add each line to a char array. But the lines aren't added, at all.</p> <pre><code>//This is the default char array that comes with the cURL code. char *text[]={ "one\n", "two\n", "three\n", " Hello, this is CURL email SMTP\n", NULL }; /*Now we're going to replace that char array, with an array that holds the contents of a textfile. We'll read a textfile out line by line, and add each line to the char array. */ void makemailmessage() { text[0] = '\0'; //Clear text text[0] = "testy\n"; //First line in new char array //Read the text file, add each line to the char array. string line; ifstream myfile ("C:\\Users\\admin\\Downloads\\bbb.txt"); int counter; counter = 1; if (myfile.is_open()) { while ( myfile.good() ) { getline (myfile,line); //Convert the string variable "line" to a char (a) char *a=new char[line.size()+1]; a[line.size()]=0; memcpy(a,line.c_str(),line.size()); //Add \n to the end of "a" (new char will be "str") char str[80]; strcpy (str,a); strcat (str,"\n"); //Add "str" to the char array "text" text[counter] = str; text[counter+1] = "test\n"; //Also added this for testing purposes write_data("C:\\Users\\admin\\Downloads\\checkit.txt", str); //Also for testing purposes //Increase counter by 2 because we added two new items to the char array "text" counter++; counter++; } myfile.close(); text[counter-1] = "testy2\n"; //Ad another text line text[counter] = NULL; //End char array } </code></pre> <p>Each str is written correctly to checkit.txt but for some reason it is not added to the char array because I end up with the char array looking like this:</p> <pre><code>testy test test testy2 </code></pre> <p>What am I doing wrong?</p> <p><strong>UPDATE2:</strong> The reason I am trying to make a char array is because the cURL function I am using needs a char array to form the email body. This is the important part of the cURL code.</p> <pre><code>static size_t read_callback(void *ptr, size_t size, size_t nmemb, void *userp) { struct WriteThis *pooh = (struct WriteThis *)userp; const char *data; if(size*nmemb < 1) return 0; data = text[pooh->counter]; //This part is using the char array. if(data) { size_t len = strlen(data); memcpy(ptr, data, len); pooh->counter++; return len; } return 0; } </code></pre> <p><a href="http://pastebin.com/rtFDEKdh" rel="nofollow">Here's</a> the full code</p>
