Reading from file into multiple structures

[paulh]

Hi All,


I am having problems reading from a file into an array of structures.
I have defined an array of 100 structures as shown below.

struct address_t

{

char name[name_size];

int comp_one, comp_two, comp_three, comp_four ;

} ;struct address_t address[100];


I can fscanf into one structure no problems but cant work out how to scan into more than one. Here is the fscanf function that I am currently using-

fscanf(InFile,"%d.%d.%d.%d %s",&ap->comp_one, &ap->comp_two, &ap->comp_three, &ap->comp_four,&ap->name);

ap is the pointer to the structure.

I want to do something like this -

fscanf(InFile,"%d.%d.%d.%d %s",&ap->[i]comp_one, &ap->[i]comp_two, &ap->[i]comp_three, &ap->[i]comp_four,&ap->[i]name);

and use a for loop with the counter (i) do that I can scan to the next structure out of the 100 possible.

Any Ideas would be greatly appreciated,


Thanks for your time,


Paul.

This is "want you want to do" and it would fix the problem. The only thing I can't work out is why you haven't done it?
