    scan multiple items in multidimensional array

    I am having trouble scanning multiple items into an array. I am trying to scan anywhere up to 10 items into a multidimensionalarray. The data is then written to a text file seperated by commas. If there are not 10 items commas are placed anyway.

    so I have something like
    char info[10][50];
    declared

    and I need help figuring out how to scan the items, so a user can stop entering in info at anytime. I know how to write files to text files, but I need a way to write it like this

    say the 3 words scooby, dooby, + doo are entered
    i need the text file to show this:
    scooby,dooby,doo,,,,,,,,
    Any help would be much appreciated

    You will probably want something like fscanf.

    Loop until the return value of fscanf is not one, (IE: Until there are no words), or until you reach 10 (the max number of times you wanted to read.

    Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
