Thread: Can i make my programm any better?

I have written a program that reads from a sequential text file
then validates the record.
the rec is for example
c12345my name my address;and house number; 12345678
the final print out is what is store on file.

How can i use structures to seperate the record fields, to have
a printout like

c 12345 my name my address;and house number; 12345678
(just to make the printout more readable)

Thanks

Code:

struct foo {
  char *name,
       *address;
  int   housenum;
} bar = {
  "meh", "leggen", 123
};

....

fwrite( &bar, sizeof( struct foo ), 1, some_file );
/*
* rewind( some_file );
* fread( &other_structure, sizeof( struct foo ), 1, some_file );
* printf( "%s %s %d\n", other_structure.name, other_structure.address, other_structure.housenum );
*/

?!

I don't get it!

Code:

struct foo
{
   char name[128];
   char address[128];
   int housenum;
}

Well, what i wantt to do is, the record on file is like this ->

Code:

c12345my name my address;and so on; postcode\n
i want a print out like so ->

c   12345    my name      my address;and so on;     post code

i think this is more readable.
any more veiws on this please.
