Problems reading text file and calculating scores

[K!nKy]

Hey everyone, so I am having a really annoying problem with my code.

The goal of it is to be able to read a text file of an unknown length (it's more or less a class roster w/ scores) and calculate and display the average of each student. The code compiles without errors but when run it has huge numbers as answers rather than an ID, name, and average.

Thanks for the help!

Text file

Notice how Name is declared - it's an array of chars. That is, Name is a char. It means that you are reading not a name, but a single character. That means in turn that all subsequent reads are wrong.

BTW, a debugger helps immensely.

Opps looks like I uploaded an older version of it. I got that fixed.

It turns out the program was having trouble passing the file_name between the main() and function.
