I am trying to read information from a textfile called "input.txt". I have narrowed down the error to strcat(uaddress, lines); I am trying to cut the array lines at the end of the array uaddress but I am unsure what exactly the problem is and how to fix it The program is supposed to read from a txt file and create a record, the records are linked lists.
