Top Forums Programming unable to send a char parameter from main to a function Post 302564329 by Corona688 on Thursday 13th of October 2011 10:52:23 AM

We can't see your computer from here, you need to post the function contents too.

We don't even know what any of those global variables you're setting are.

It's a very bad idea to have a function that exists to do nothing but set global variables. Usually that means your programming model is a bit off somewhere. Honestly, this makes me suspect your other code as well, tested or not.

Code:
    charSetter=0;
    fileType = charSetter;

Why do you bother passing charSetter if the very first thing you do is set it to zero? You'll never get anything but zero out of it.
