Printing a linked list

[popnfresh12321]

Everytime I print the list it only prints the last node added into the linked list.

My print function is as follows:

       
 while(head !=NULL)
        {
                printf("%s , %s , %d\n", head->fname, head->lname, head->ID);
                head = head->next;
        }

It'll print out the last name and ID I added to the list.
How do get it to print out the entire list?

this loop seems ok..but has a danger!you modify the head pointer,which is the GOD.It is not the human that is going to traverse through the list(so you have to create a temp pointer that will play the role of the human)...Or if it does,at the end of his journey,he must return to the first node( a temp node must be then maintained to the head node)..
So what i guess ,is that you modify your list in the rest of the program in a way that makes the head pointer to be not in the correct node-which is the first node of course.So maybe you post the rest of the code..Or trying to think of what i said in the 1st paragraph or better yet,both

That is a complete assumption. A pointer named head does not have to be the only remaining reference to the list. If you modify the only remaining reference to the list, you could lose the ability to free the list completely. Otherwise, it's totes fine.

Well its in a function. It's not actually head.
But this is the bulk of my main function:

        while(fgets(line, MAX_LINE, input))
        {
                fname = strtok(line, ",");
                if(!fname) continue;

                lname = strtok(NULL , ",");
                if(!lname) continue;

                IDstring = strtok(NULL , ",");
                ID = atoi(IDstring);

                stuPtr = createStudent(ID, fname, lname);


        }
        printList(stuPtr);
        ptr = stuPtr;
        
        stuPtr = insert(stuPtr, 19923, "Andrew", "Durington");
        printf("=========================\n");
        printList(stuPtr);



        return 0;
}

//Create Student Function
Student* createStudent(int ID, char *fname, char *lname)
{
        Student *newStu = malloc(sizeof(Student));

        if((newStu == NULL))
        {
                printf("Error: Could not allocate memory\n");
                return NULL;
        }
        newStu->ID = ID;
        strcpy(newStu->fname, fname);
        strcpy(newStu->lname, lname);
        newStu->next = NULL;






        return newStu;
}

And my print function is listed in the first post

Where is the function that add nodes to the list?

[edit] Or even, why aren't you inserting all the nodes that you read in the loop into the list? That is a big mistake.[/edit]

If you have an error there, it would explain the faulty printing.

Ah. Wow. I very badly misinterpreted the directions on this. I should be able to figure this out now. Thanks whiteflags for helping me figure out my stupidity. Should be relatively easy now.
