fgets in C Programming

[readerwhiz]

I am relatively new to C Programming and have been working for about a week to try and make the following code work.

I have been able to open the file, but when I try to read a line with fgets, I get nothing and a parse error prior to char *num. When I remove the tokenString. . . I compile with no error, but of course, it doesn't read the line. Would someone check the syntax of what I've written and see what I'm missing?



Ptrbook=fopen("Book.dat","r");

if(Ptrbook == NULL) printf("Error opening file\n");

else (printf("File is open\n"));

{ /*Open book assign*/

tokenString = (fgets(buffer,int RECORDLENGTH, Ptrbook));

char *num = strtok(oneline, "\t");
char *name = strtok(NULL, "\t");
char *author = strtok(NULL, "\t");
char *pub = strtok(NULL, "\n");
int i;

printf("%d\n", num);
printf("%s\n", name);
printf("%s\n", author);
printf("%s\n", pub);

fclose(Ptrbook);


Thank you! Your assistance would be greatly appreciated!

int RECORDLENGTH

This is how you would print the text file to stdout

char buff[100];
while ( fgets( buff, sizeof(buff), Ptrbook ) != NULL ) {
    printf( "%s", buff );
}
