What is wrong with this? 

My guess is strn_text is a char rather than an array or a pointer to
an array of chars.

Thank you for answering my question.
If strn_text was a char, wouldn't that defeat the purpose of getLINE? I thought it might be a pointer, but that didn't make any sense to me... putting a pointer in for the function works, but it doesn't produce the results that I was looking for, plus wouldn't it be redundant to have 2 arrays doing the same job?
