'Cannot use both Argv's, cannot run Move twice segmentation fault
Ive been trying various ways to get my program to work. regardless of weather i try argv1 or argv2 first, the second one will segmentation fault. even if i try to print SOURCE2DEFINE or argv[2] AFTER a move() it will segmentation fault. i cannot move both files trying to run move twice will result in a segmentation fault. im assuming that it has to be something to do with pointers and allocation.

#define DESTDEFINE argv[argc - 1]
#define ARGCDEFINE argc

int getIndex(char, char*);
char* fileGetName(char*);
void move(char*, char*);
void copy(char*, char*);
int main(int argc, char** argv)

int lengthArray = argc-2;
printf("Test Length: %d\n", lengthArray);
printf(" command %s\n", COMMANDDEFINE);

if(strcmp("./copy", COMMANDDEFINE) == 0)
{
// copy(source, dest);

else if(strcmp("./move", COMMANDDEFINE) == 0)
{
int i = 1;

Your move method changes dest (which is really argv[i]), and overwrites the memory after it: strcat(dest, fileGetName(source));. This destroys the other parameter and probably some other things. Don't write strings into memory you don't own.
