从文件读取数据到结构数组

Question

Hi I'm trying to read data from file into array of structures I tried to use fgets but got the error saying that RECORD type cannot be convert to char* this is what i have so far

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

#define MAX_NAME   20
#define FILE_NAME  50
#define LIST_SIZE 50
//void getData(RECORD name[], RECORD score)


typedef struct RECORD
{
    char *name;
    float  score;
}RECORD;


int main (void)
{
    // Declarations
       FILE *fp;
       char fileName[FILE_NAME];
       RECORD list[LIST_SIZE];
       int count = 0;
    // Statements
       printf("Enter the file name: ");
       gets(fileName);

       fp = fopen(fileName, "r");

       if(fp == NULL)
           printf("Error cannot open the file!\n");
         while (fgets(list[count], LIST_SIZE, fp) != NULL)
         {
             count++;
         }
       return 0;
}

the error occurs in the fgets statement inside while loop, how can i fix this and read data into array of structures?

thank in advance

Answer 1

Try this,

while(fgets((char *)list[count], SIZE/* data size to be read */, fp) != NULL)
{...}

Answer 2

fgets is used to input a string from a text file one line as a unit.

eg)

char input_line_buff[128];
fgets(input_line_buff, 128, fp);

read-in

input_line_buff:(contents eg) "name 66.6\\n"

you do split , memory alloc and copy, and convert .

eg)

list[count].name = strdup("name");
list[count].score= atof("66.6");
count++;
