Question

Hey you guys Im not really good with structures and I was wonderingif someone could help me with this problem. I have to prompt theuser for a text file (random.txt) and then store the contentsinto a structure so I can do so file manipulation. But I dont knowhow to put the contents into a structure, if someone could help meout with that im pretty much good to go. Here is what the contentslook like in the file: random.txt ;
Gates, William, H, 1.89 Jobs, Steven, P, 2.56 Brin, Sergey, , 3.89 Page, Lawrence, , 3.77 Buffett, Warren, E, 3.34
My code: #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #define TEN 10 #define THREE 3 #define TWENTY 20 #define FIFTY 50 #define ONE_THOUSAND 1000
typedef struct {   char first_name[TEN];   char middle_name[THREE];   char last_name[TWENTY];   double users_gpa[TEN];
} format_of_file;

int main () {   /* Declarations: File I/O, */   FILE *inp, *outp;   char first_file[FIFTY], second_file[FIFTY];   format_of_file organized[ONE_THOUSAND];         /* Get users inputs */   printf("Enter the input file name: ");   scanf("%s", first_file);   printf("Enter the output file name: ");   scanf("%s", second_file);      inp = fopen(first_file, "r");   outp = fopen(second_file, "w");      /* Test if both files for validity */   if (inp == NULL) {    perror("Invalid File");    exit(EXIT_FAILURE);   }      if (outp == NULL) {    perror("Invalid File");    exit(EXIT_FAILURE);   }   
  return 0; }
Thanks you guys. I just need help figuring out how to put thatcontent into a structure. This is different for me because ivenever dealt with , before in a text file. random.txt ;

Explanation / Answer

here is the code block that you can be used to read from file tostructure if (inp == NULL)    {        printf("Invalid File");        exit(EXIT_FAILURE);    }    else     {         while (!feof(inp))         {            fscanf(inp, "%s", organized[counter].first_name);            fscanf(inp, "%s", organized[counter].middle_name);            fscanf(inp, "%s", organized[counter].last_name);            fscanf(inp, "%f",&organized[counter].users_gpa);                      counter++;         }     } For more information you can refer the following example, http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread92034.html http://www.daniweb.com/tutorials/tutorial45806.html Here is the Full working code sample: #include #include #define TEN 10 #define THREE 3 #define TWENTY 20 #define FIFTY 50 #define ONE_THOUSAND 100 struct format_of_file { char first_name[TEN]; char middle_name[THREE]; char last_name[TWENTY]; char users_gpa[TEN]; }; int counter = 0; int main(void) {    FILE *inp, *outp;    char first_file[FIFTY], second_file[FIFTY];    struct format_of_file organized[ONE_THOUSAND];    printf("Enter the input file name: ");    scanf("%s", first_file);    printf("Enter the output file name: ");    scanf("%s", second_file);    inp = fopen(first_file, "r");    outp = fopen(second_file, "w");    if (inp == NULL)    {        printf("Invalid File");        exit(EXIT_FAILURE);    }    else    {         while (!feof(inp))        {                     fscanf(inp, "%s", organized[counter].first_name);            fscanf(inp, "%s", organized[counter].middle_name);            fscanf(inp, "%s", organized[counter].last_name);            fscanf(inp, "%s", organized[counter].users_gpa);                     counter++;        }        fclose(inp);    }    for(int i = 0;i
