    Exclamation Need help with test file I/O

    I'm trying to read from a text file with the format "string1, string2,..string5" all separated by spaces, 158 lines in lenght. I need to take each string and copy it into variables contained in a structure. Can anybody show me how this can be done efficiently?
    Thanks!

    Use fgets() to read each line in turn from the file
    Then perhaps strcpy to copy each word to members of your structure

    Salem,
    Thanks. I'm stil uncertain of how to implement what you suggested. An example would be great.

    Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
