Help reading file streams
I would appreciate some help with reading input input file streams into data structure.
First, so that I can demonstrate that I understand the basics of reading input file streams I present a code fragment that reads the following file into an array and prints the array:
grades.txt:
Code:
91, 92, 85, 58, 87, 75, 89, 97, 79, 65, 88, 72, 81, 94, 90, 61, 72, 75, 68,
77, 75, 49, 87, 79, 65, 64, 62, 51, 44, 70, 81, 72, 85, 78, 77, 75, 79, 87, 69,
55, 88, 62, 71, 74, 80, 71, 62, 85,68, 87, 75, 89, 97, 79, 65, 48, 72, 61, 64, 90
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#define STU_ROWS 5
#define GRD_COLS 12
int main (void)
{
//Local declarations
int stuGrdAry[STU_ROWS][GRD_COLS]
spStuGrds = fopen("grade.txt", "r");
if ((spStuGrds = fopen("grades.txt", "r")) == NULL)
{
printf("Error in opening input file");
exit(101);
}
for (stuRow = 0; stuRow < STU_ROWS; stuRow++)
{
for (grdCol = 0; grdCol < GRD_COLS; grdCol++)
{
fscanf(spStuGrds, "%d%*c ", &stuGrdAry[stuRow][grdCol]);
}
}
for (stuRow = 0; stuRow < STU_ROWS; stuRow++)
{
for (grdCol = 0; grdCol < GRD_COLS; grdCol++)
{
printf("%d ", stuGrdAry[stuRow][grdCol]);
}
printf("\n");
}
}
I know this code works both because I have used it successfully as part of a larger program and because I have compiled and run it on its own and gotten the desired output.
Now, I am trying to write a program that takes a more heavily formatted file and reads it into a structure and prints the structure:
grade_struct.txt:
Code:
Student 1: 91, 92, 85, 68, 87, 75, 89, 97, 79, 65, 88, 72, 81, 94, 90
Student 2: 61, 72, 75, 68, 77, 75, 69, 87, 79, 65, 64, 62, 51, 44, 70
Student 3: 81, 72, 85, 78, 77, 75, 79, 87, 69, 55, 88, 82, 71, 74, 80
Student 4: 71, 62, 85, 88, 87, 75, 89, 97, 79, 65, 88, 72, 61, 64, 90
Student 5: 90, 52, 75, 68, 77, 85, 59, 87, 79, 65, 88, 72, 81, 90, 91
Student 6: 51, 52, 55, 58, 67, 75, 69, 97, 99, 85, 88, 72, 81, 94, 90
Student 7: 45, 62, 75, 68, 77, 75, 89, 67, 69, 65, 88, 72, 81, 84, 80
Student 8: 56, 52, 85, 78, 87, 74, 79, 97, 79, 65, 68, 72, 84, 94, 70
Student 9: 77, 42, 55, 88, 57, 75, 80, 67, 79, 65, 88, 73, 81, 91, 95
Student 10: 57, 92, 85, 78, 81, 85, 84, 97, 79, 85, 58, 72, 81, 74, 70
Student 11: 92, 95, 85, 98, 87, 75, 89, 97, 79, 69, 88, 72, 81, 94, 90
Student 12: 91, 92, 85, 98, 87, 78, 89, 97, 79, 86, 88, 72, 81, 94, 96
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#define STU_NUM_MAX 11
#define STU_STRUCT_ROWS 12
#define GRD_ARY_COLS 15
typedef struct
{
char stuNumStr[STU_NUM_MAX];
int stuGrdAry[GRD_ARY_COLS];
} STUDENT;
int main (void)
{
int stuStructRow;
int stuNumChr;
int grdAryCol;
FILE* spStuGrds;
spStuGrds = fopen("grade_struct.txt", "r");
if ((spStuGrds = fopen("grade_struct.txt", "r")) == NULL)
{
printf("Error in opening input file");
exit(101);
}
while (fgetc(spStuGrds) != EOF)
{
for (stuStructRow = 0; stuStructRow < STU_STRUCT_ROWS; stuStructRow++)
{
for(stuNumChr = 0; stuNumChr < STU_NUM_MAX && fgetc(spStuGrds)!= ':'; stuNumChr++)
{
fscanf(spStuGrds, "%c", stuStructAry[stuStructRow].stuNumStr[stuNumChr]);
}
fscanf(spStuGrds, "%*c");
for (grdAryCol = 0; grdAryCol < GRD_ARY_COLS; grdAryCol++)
{
fscanf(spStuGrds, " %d%*c ", stuStructAry[stuStructRow].stuGrdAry[grdAryCol]);
}
}
}
For (stuStructRow = 0; stuStructRow < STU_STRUCT_ROWS; stuStructRow++)
{
printf("%s", &stuStructAry[stuStructRow].stuNumStr);
for (grdAryCol = 0; grdAryCol < GRD_ARY_COLS; grdAryCol++)
{
printf(" %d%*c ", &stuStructAry[stuStructRow].stuGrdAry[grdAryCol]);
}
}
}
Basically, I want to read the 11- or 12-character sequence, "Student X(X)", into a string while suppressing the colon and each integer after that into an array of integers. In previous versions of this code, I seemed to be having trouble getting the characters all read into the string properly because, after performing sums and averages on the integer array I would sometimes get negative number. Now, Windows just send me its standard "(blank).exe has encountered a problem" error message and terminates the program's execution.
I have tried several things but didn't notice any appreciable difference in the output . First, I tried scanf("%s%*c ", stuStructAry[stuStructRow].stuNumStr);. I now understand that it didn't work, because the %s conversion specifier stops after it encounters whitespace, so I was essentially scanning "Student" into the string, suppressing the space, and scanning the student's number in to first element in the integer array. For that same reason, any statement containing the %s conversion specifier won't read the string as I want it to be read, so I have tried reading it as an undelimited character sequence, but by that time, Windows had started terminating my programs, so I am not sure how the out put might have actually differed.
Any help would be very much appreciate. :)
