Thread: Help with reading a file in C, with fgets()/sscanf()

I have a text file with 190 lines, that goes something like this:

Code:

Antigua,English,Local dialects
Bahamas,English,Creole
Barbados,English
Belize,English,Spanish,Mayan,Carib
Canada,English,French
Costa Rica,Spanish,English
Cuba,Spanish

First field is the country, following fields are the different languages spoken in that country.
Since some countries have more languages than others, I am stuck trying to read the file using fgets() and sscanf().
I'm doing this:

Code:

while(i < SIZE && fgets(buffer, 255, fp))
  {
    sscanf(buffer, "%[^,]%*c%[^\n]", holdName, buffer);//read the country first, and keep the rest for the languages 
    .........
    
    /* Here is where I'm lost, I want to read a language, keep the rest of the buffer to repeat until
        the buffer is empty. But obviously I'm doing it wrong */
    while(sscanf(buffer, "%[^,]%*c%[^\n]", holdLang, buffer) != '\n')
    {
      ............
    }
    i++;
  }

Any help please?
I have this big program to do, and can't do anything else until I am able to read the whole file.

Thanks

Look into the strtok function. It will basically "break" the string into tokens at whatever characters you specify.

Thank you very much to both!
I didnt know about any of those two methods.
