    I have created another function and the looks like this now but it still does not work...
    Code:
    VOID writeALL(void) {
    FILE *fp;
    fp = fopen("stockdb.txt", "r");
    
    char c;
    struct stock stk1;
     
    while((fscanf(fp, "%s %s %s %d%c",stk1.name,stk1. code,stk1.price, &stk1.quantity,&c)) > 3) {
       printf("%s %s %s %d \n", stk1.name,stk1.code,stk1.price,stk1.quantity);
     
    }
     
    fclose(fp);  
    getch();
    I still getting the size error...

    Add enough to your little snippet of a program, so it will show compile or at least, show the error.

    Along with a bit of data so we can run it, in case studying it isn't enough to spot the problem.

    I don't recall the "size error" -- copy and paste it, please.

    I can't read your post for the most part. With a magnifying glass, I got the size error. Looks like the definition of the struct "stock" was not made in global space ( above main() ).

    You're going to have to post your code (or a complete example), for more specific help. I can't keep squinting into a magnifying glass!

    I'm sorry for that but I have sorted it somehow it was just the array type which somehow wasn't correct. Now I'm trying to sort out this delete function, however I'm trying to work of the same function you have

    Code:
     int idelete(void) {
       char buff[80];
       int i;
       printf("\nEnter the name of the item in stock you want to delete:  ");
       fgets(buff, MAXNAME, stdin);
       buff[strlen(buff)-1]='\0';
       i = fetch(buff); //get buff's index in the array
       if(i) {
          printf("Delete this record [y/n] ? ");
          printf("\n\t Name: %s \n\t Code: %s \n\t Quantity: %d",items[i].name,\
          items[i].code, items[i].quantity);
          fgets(buff, 2, stdin);
        DelRec();
          if(buff[0]=='y' || buff[0]=='Y') {
             printf("\nItem has been deleted");
             getchar();
             getchar();
            
          }
          return i;
       }
       else
          return 0;
    }
    Code:
    int DelRec(void) {
    
      int i;
      FILE *fp;
     
      //remove("stock.bak");
    
      if(rename("stockodb.txt", "stockdb.bak")==0) {
    
        
    
       if((fp=fopen("stockdb.txt", "wt"))==NULL) {
    
          printf("\nError opening file. No records were written.\n");
    
          return 1;
    
        }
    
    /*   
    
    }else {
    
        printf("\nError renaming in function writeAll()\n");
    
        return 1;
    
      }
    
    */
    
      i=0;
    
      while(1) {
    
        fprintf(fp, "%s, %s, %s, %d\n",items[i].title,items[i].code,items[i].price, items[i].quantity);
    
        ++i;
    
        if(i>NumItems) break;
    
      }  
    
      fclose(fp);
    
     
      return 0;
    }
    Can you please tell me which part of the DelRec I need to edit for it to delete completely record from the file, basically I'm not sure what line to add or delete...
    Are there any chances that I could delete empty rows as well?
    thanks

    This would be the new writeAll function for it, just change the video stuff to the stock stuff. Be sure and test this, btw!

    Code:
    int writeAll(void) {
       int i;
       FILE *fp;
    
       if((fp=fopen("videodb.txt", "wt"))==NULL) {
          printf("\nError opening videos.txt file. No records were written.\n");
          return 1;
       }
       i=0;
       while(1) {
          if(videos[i].title[0]) {  //only write out current records
             fprintf(fp, "%s, %s, %s, %d\n",videos[i].title,videos[i].actor,videos[i].genra, videos[i].rating);
             ++i;
          } 
          if(i>NumVideos) break;
       }  
       fclose(fp);
    
       return 0;
    }
    Now add the call to writeAll() IN THE SWITCH STATEMENT, after the add, edit or delete a record functions are called just before the very last line of code in that case statement, so the change in records will be written out to the data file.

    Also, in add and delete switch case blocks of code I have --NumVideos or ++NumVideos. The call to writeAll() must go AFTER the increment or decrement to NumVideos.

    The edit function has no change to NumVideos, of course.

    In your delete function, you should have logic like this, which confirms that the record should be deleted, and marks the record:
    Code:
          if(buff[0]=='y' || buff[0]=='Y') {  //confirm deletion with user
             videos[i].title[0]=='\0';           //mark the record field to be deleted by writeAll()
             printf("\nHas been deleted");
             getchar();
             getchar();
          }
    There is a bug in my program, in idelete, line 20 (of your post, above).

    Replace:
    return i;

    with:
    return 1;

    the new function does not write to the file, at least its not shown in the file shouldn't it be creating another file and then writing to it?

    basically when the new function is applied it does not write to a file and like before it does not return to previous function... There must be some easier way just to edit the delete function and make it work the way it deletes just one row from a file? Are there any chances you could write a small code to do so. I have no idea how it suppose to be written. Please help . At the moment I have left old WriteALL function which works and now searching how to make this delete function working but I have not found anything

    I've made a new project, so I can write your code from your model, instead of translating it from mine.

    Yes, there is a way to do what you want, and no, I won't write that code for you. Reason is that you dabble with code, and the very first time you dabbled with that code, your data file would be corrupted.

    I have to do some running around atm, but I will fix what the problem is for the function with a copy of my video data. If you want it fixed for sure with your data, you need to post up a 7 records (rows) of your data, so I can use it.

    I'll post up a corrected version when I get back - about 4 hours.

    Several changes were made to the program. Note the warning! I will not be responsible for any lost data, or losses you face because you used this program, which is certainly not tested or complete.

    Code:
