Structures and file io

[mungyun]

ok, i am trying to figure out how to use structs with file i/o. i am not quite sure if i am going in the right direction. i am writing a program that records any user defined files, their modify time, access time, and size. i decided to use a struct like:

typedef struct FRec //Do i even need typedef?
{
char *iofilename;
char *ioaccesstime;
char *iomodsize;
char *iosize;
}Rec1;

i can already get the info into the struct but i am having trouble writing it to a file. also reading from a file. my file format consists of:

filename
access time
modify time
size
...
could someone help a downed C programmer?

Like so

fprintf( fp, "%s\n", Rec1.iofilename );


Same sort of idea if you're using binary files and fwrite - you have to write what each pointer points to, not the pointer itself.
