Re: structure and reading a text file

Jan 7th, 2009

you could do something like this:

 Help with Code Tags 
 C Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
fscanf(fp,"%s%s%s", List[i].ID, List[i].YR, List[i].lname);
  // get the first name separately because it may be composed of 
  // two or more names with spaces, so fscanf() will not work with this.
fgets(List[i].fname, sizeof(List[i].fname, fp);
fscanf(fp,"%s%s%s", List[i].ID, List[i].YR, List[i].lname);
  // get the first name separately because it may be composed of 
  // two or more names with spaces, so fscanf() will not work with this.
fgets(List[i].fname, sizeof(List[i].fname, fp);

Of course you will have to put the above in a loop after opening the file for reading.
