Thread: Noob file i/o problem

I am new to C and this is a small part of my homework assignment. I have to read in a file consisting of students names and scores. I have to separate the names from the scores. I used 2 2d char arrays to do so. My professor told us to use fgetc to read in the characters. After I read the file I have to sort the scores along with the corresponding name in ascending order(I have not implemented my sort yet so I am not asking for help with that yet). My problem is when I output the arrays it spits out garbage along with some of the correct info. The assignment has more to it but I am trying to fix problems on a small scale first before I try the full assignment.

This is a sample text file.
jim 97
jake 51
bill 84
ray 77

This is the garbage output I get:
jim 97���

ke ���84@>�77
4@>�77
l �77

Code:

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

int main()
{
    int ch;
    char name[10][5];
    char score[5][5];
    FILE *fp;
    fp = fopen("infile.txt", "r");
    int y = 0;
    int x = 0;
    int line = 0;
    while((ch=fgetc(fp))!=EOF)
    {
        if(ch != '\n')
        {
            if(isalpha(ch))
            {
                name[line][x] = ch;
                x++;
            }
            else if(isdigit(ch))
            {
                score[line][y] = ch;
                y++;
            }
        }
        else if(ch == '\n')
        {
            line++;
        }
        
    }
    int i = 0;
    for ( i = 0 ; i < 5 ; i++ )
    {
        printf("%s", name[i]);;
        printf(" ");
        printf("%s\n", score[i] );
    }
        printf(" ");
    return 0;
}

Thanks for the help camel-man and std10093. I think I am on the right track now. I am going to use fgets. Ill post again if I have more questions.
