Don't know the answer to your question until I know the contents of the text file. Without that knowledge, generally I would use fgets() to read a line, then parse it into its individual parts into the structure.
Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.
you could do something like this:
Of course you will have to put the above in a loop after opening the file for reading.
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);
Of course you will have to put the above in a loop after opening the file for reading.
