Thread: Music database using Linked Data Structures. halp!

So im trying to get a program to read from a text file that contains artists, albums and songs and organize them alphabetically. also im trying to get it to allow to add new artists albums and songs and sort it. Just feel kinda lost atm with how to implement the find or insert functions

the text file for example is like this

Pink Floyd;The Wall;1979;1;In the Flesh?
Bruce Springsteen;Wrecking Ball;2012;7; ...

Code:

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


#define LINEBUFFERSIZE 256


/* Definitions for data structure nodes (artist, disc, track)  */


struct song {
  char *songName_p;
  int trackNumber;
  struct song *nextSong_p;
};




struct disc {
  char *discName_p;
  int year;
  struct song *song_p;
  struct disc *nextDisc_p;
};


struct artist {
  char *artistName_p;9i
  struct disc *disc_p;
  struct artist *nextArtist_p;
};


typedef struct artist artist_t;
typedef struct disc disc_t;
typedef struct song song_t;


typedef struct artist *artistNodePtr;
typedef struct disc *discNodePtr;
typedef struct song *songNodePtr;


/* function  prototypes */


artistNodePtr findOrInsertArtist( artistNodePtr *sPtr, char *artistID );


discNodePtr  findOrInsertDisc(discNodePtr *sPtr, char *discID, int releaseYear);


void  findOrInsertSong(songNodePtr *sPtr, char *songID, int trackID);


void getNextLine(char buffer[], int bufferSize, FILE *fptr);


/* May need more function prototypes here */
