Using a char matrix as a parameter to a function

I am trying to pass a char matrix as a parameter to another function but the programme keeps stopping, without giving me any error. I have read the matrix from a file which contains the following (each value on different line): 6 AFAA26 7A4255 1C80B6 2C158F DA8204 5A408A

My code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

void read(char s[100][100],int n)
{
    int i;
    for(i=0;i<n;i++)
        printf("%s\n",s[i]);
}

int main()
{
  random();
  FILE *fp=fopen("p1","r");
  int n,i,j;
  fscanf(fp,"%d",&n);
  char s[20][10];
  for(i=0;i<n;i++)
      fscanf(fp,"%s",&s[i]);
  fclose (fp);
  read(s,n);
  return 0;
}

note: by writing "for(i=0;i<n;i++) printf("%s\n",s[i]);" in the main function it reads me correctly the values from the file.

Thank you!

Your sizes from the declared array and the parameter do not match.

You can either declare the same dimensions, perhaps using a #define to avoid duplication, or have a look at this question for other (maybe better) alternatives.
