Checking for commas in imported files

I'm writing a program that imports files from a .csv. They problem is that every item in the file is separated by spaces instead of commas. I know I need to wrtie an if statement to check for commas, but how would I go about doing that and what would I do once that statement found a comma?

Here's my code so far. This is just a subclass so some of the variables you see will not have initializations, but I assure you that they are there.

I apologize in advance for the formatiing; code doesn't copy to messagebaords well.

Code:

void import(){
FILE *in = NULL;
char import[256];
int z = 0;

    printf("Enter the number entries contained in the file: ");
    scanf("%d", &num);
//getting the file name
     printf("Enter the name of the file you wish to import: ");
     scanf("%s", &import);
     in = fopen (import, "r");
//adding the data to a link list
	
     while (z < num) { 		
     ptr = (Node*)malloc(sizeof(Node)); 		
     fscanf(in, "%s %s\n", ptr->lname, ptr->fname); 	
     ptr->unique = z;
//putting it all into one variable
     ptr->nextPtr = NULL; 		
     if (firstPtr == NULL) 
     firstPtr = ptr;
     else
     lastPtr->nextPtr = ptr;
     lastPtr = ptr;

     z = z + 1;
	
	}
	fclose(in);
printf("File imported successfully!\n");
printf("%s", ptr->lname);
printf("%s", ptr->fname);

There's a problem with your description...

By definition, .csv uses commas to separate values...

No problem. When you find a SPACE, following it is a new item.

Not if the file is SPACE separated. You have to decide what a comma means in your file if SPACE is the delimiter.

Don't apologize if you know something is wrong. Fix it before posting. Spaces work best for indenting on forums, don't use TABs. There should be a setting in your editor to "convert TABs to SPACEs"

Nevermind, guys, I figured out what the problem was and solved it. Thanks for contributing anyway.
