    Question file i/o-structs,linked lists

    Once again, I need some direction. How can I get a variable from a struct that's in a linked list to change upon input from the user? I've attached the code I have so far for your reference. Specifically I am referring to the 'bookSale' function. If the user is selling a book, I'd like the quantity to reflect the change that is made to its amount in the file where it has been read. I've tried hacking on it for several hours but came up with nothing workable. Please throw me a bone. Thanks.

    just change the variable as books are sold/stocked/returned/etc... and if you have it for file io, update that upon program initialization/shutdown... right? also, make sure you have correct access rights to the variables or files you'd want to access... seems pretty straightforward, and looking at your [well organized] code, i would think there is a snag... is there a snag?

    Nope, no snag. I was just having a bit of brain freeze and needed some advice to get me back on track. Thank you very much!
