In my code, you would simply do something like this:

Code:

    char *p; // <--= declare this somewhere

    if((p = strtok(buffer, ";")))
      strncpy(array->quest, p, sizeof(array->quest));
    else
      *array->quest = 0;

    for(i = 0; i < 4; ++i)
      if((p = strtok(NULL, ";")))
        strncpy(array->choice[i], p, sizeof(*array->choice));
      else
        *array->choice[i] = 0;

    if((p = strtok(NULL, ";")))
      array->ans = *p
    else
      array->ans = 0;

Lol, hey anyway i think the best way might be for me to go and read over structures cause im kinda new to them, hence, the code above bit confusing lol

I think it would be more interesting to lose the hard-coded A, B, C, and D's as well as the hard coded question numbers. By doing that, you could totally have random order to the question as well as mix up the answers.

[question-id];[question];[answer-id];[answer];[answer-id];[answer];[answer-id];[answer];[answer-id];[answer];[correct-answer-id];

Hey Master5001 thanks for the insight on structures like i said ill go home and read on it, ill look at your codes maybe change my entire way im doin the coding and start over from scrtach cuz i thnk the way it is is a bit wordy and unecessary, yea as u can see its a quiz im trying to do. Has one question and four possible answers. Thank you for your time, hopefully this program is done by wednesday, lol

I was saying refer to this post. You need to post like 10 times to be able to have that privilege, I believe.
