im running a prog.on linux c BUT keep on gettin warning msgs: Ansii c++ prohibits void* conversion
in the malloc part of the linked list.
ex.pNew = malloc(sizeof(structGNodeType));

im also tryin to make a code that given a keyword it will search for its instances in all the Questions(take note that words in the question are seperated by a space)-my code here runs but doesnt seem to get any match though im pretty sure the keyword i entered has a match.anybody help??

int find(ptrGNode pGame)
{ ptrGNode pTemp;
int nCtr,i,j,k,l,m,nVal;
str70 strTemp;

char sKey[31];
int nFound=0,nWhere;
nCtr =0;
do{printf("\n\n Enter Keyword:>");
scanf("%s",sKey);

if(strlen(sKey)>31)

printf("Keyword must only be 30 characters or less");

}while(strlen(sKey)>31);
if(sKey[0]=='\0')
return(NOT_FOUND);
else
{pTemp=pGame;
j=0;

while(pTemp!=NULL)
{
for(i=0;i<strlen(pTemp->sGame.strQuestions);i++)
{
while(pTemp->sGame.strQuestions[i]!='\0')
{
strTemp[j]=pTemp->sGame.strQuestions[i];
j++;
}
strTemp[j]='\0';

if(!strcmp(strTemp,sKey))
{
nFound=1;
return(nCtr);
}
else
nCtr++;
pTemp=pTemp->pGNext;
}
}
}
if(nFound==1)
nWhere=nCtr;
else
nWhere=NOT_FOUND;

return(nWhere);
}

void view_Keyword(ptrGNode pGame,struct_Game sGame)

new and alloc function return void* pointers.

since your struct/class member pNew likely has a different type you have to explicitly typeconfvert.
Say pNew is a pooiinter to int write:
ex.pNew = (int*) malloc (...);
