Thread: Storing integers to a character array

Hello friends,

I am creating a program and am having trouble with one part. The input file looks like:

Code:

2
3 
Bill Jeff Steve
Linda Brittany Jessica
3 1 4
2 1 9
8 3 7
6 4 9
4 8 9
6 9 4

Where I am stuck is putting the numbers into the string array. For example, Bill's scores should be set up as Bill's scores should be set as

Code:

bill_score = {3, 1, 4}

and when this code is ran

Code:

for (i=0; i<3; i++)
{
    printf("%s - ", men[i]);
    printf("%d ", bill_score);
}

it should output

Code:

Bill - 3 1 4

Here is what I have so far, thanks you guys.

Code:

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


# define MAX_CHARS 20 // MAX_CHARS is the precondition of the number of letters each name can have.




int main()
{
    // Opens the file and tests to see if the file is being read properly.
    FILE *ifp = fopen("matching.txt   ", "r");
    if (!ifp)
    {
        printf("The file is unable to open!\n");
        return -1;
    }


    // Variables: i is the initializer; num_events is the number of events; num_pairs is the number of pairs.
    int i, num_events, num_pairs;
    // Reads in the first line-- the number of dating sessions.
    fscanf(ifp, "%d", &num_events);
    // Reads in the number of pairs
    fscanf(ifp, "%d", &num_pairs);


    //printf("The number of events is: %d\n", num_events);
    //printf("The number of pairs is: %d\n\n", num_pairs);


    // Mallocing space for a char-pointer at the size of number of pairs.
    char **men = malloc(sizeof(char*) *num_pairs);
    char **women = malloc(sizeof(char*) *num_pairs);


    // Loops through the whole group of daters and their scores.
    for (i=0; i< num_events; i++)
    {
        // This loop allocates space for the names of each of the men into an array
        for (i=0; i< num_pairs; i++)
        {
            // For each man, dynamically allocate memory for the size of 20 chars(MAX_CHARS)
            men[i] = malloc(sizeof(char) *MAX_CHARS);
            fscanf(ifp, "%s", men[i]);
            printf("%s ", men[i]);
            // Debugger to test to see if the names are being read in properly... printf("%s\n", men[i]);
        }


        printf("\n");


        for (i=0; i< num_pairs; i++)
        {
            // For each woman, dynamically allocate memory for the size of 20 chars(MAX_CHARS)
            women[i] = malloc(sizeof(char) *MAX_CHARS);


            // Scans in the name of the women and alloocates them to women[i]
            fscanf(ifp, "%s", women[i]);
            printf("%s ", women[i]);


        }


        printf("\n");
        printf("\n");
    }


    // Loops and prints the output for the number of events.
    for (i=0; i < num_events; i++)
    {
        printf("Matching #%d: Maximum Score = \n", i+1);
    }


    return 0;
