Your problem is surely enough in the deferentiation of the return value of
fl_get_input. After:
*plain = *fl_get_input(ob);
plain isn't really pointing to anything!!
The code should be:
plain = fl_get_input(ob);
strcpy(store, plain);
and now you are able to do anything you want wiht your string.
Have Fun!
