Faster to look in online help :). and it's two from memory.. last time I

 ok I will...

it was more a problem of missing the allocation of an array, but the
program still accessing it..

what I want is something like this

#define ARR_SIZE 2000
int main()
{
    char *buffer;
    long arr_size_cur=0;
    long count=0;

    buffer = calloc(100,sizeof(char));
    arr_size_cur = 100;

    while(whatever)
    {
        /* any code whatever */
        if(count >= arr_size_cur && (count+10)=ARR_SIZE)
            break;
        count++;
    }
    free(buffer);
    return 0;
}

That sort of idea, what I really want is a better way of writing it, also
one which will alloc all members of the array, and not miss any.. 

I would send you the source I have done so far of my program, but there's
to much to it.. .. 

I just really need a decent example of how to realloc a varible to extend
it when needed...
