Thread: Strings and Strucs

It may be because its so late but I've started re-reading up on C and i've been messing around with structures and writing to files. Anyway I've been trying to save some structures to a file and they all work fine except for my char array =-(. Any help would be really awsome on the matter.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>


struct Player{
       char name[100];
       int hp;
       int attack;
};
       

int main(){
    //define all new Structures
    struct Player player;
    struct Player *playerPtr;
    
    //Make all file readers + writers
    FILE *PlayerSave;
    PlayerSave = fopen("C:\\Users\\Adam Flax\\Documents\\test.txt", "r+");
    
    player.name = "hello";
    player.hp = 19;
    player.attack = 17;
    playerPtr = &player;
    
    fprintf(PlayerSave,"%d\n", playerPtr -> name);
    fprintf(PlayerSave,"%d\n", playerPtr -> hp);
    fprintf(PlayerSave,"%d\n", playerPtr -> attack);
    
    fclose(PlayerSave);
    return(0);
}

thanks

p.s
but ya I have not touched a programming language and its proberly something really stupid like player.name[0] ="hello"; (yes I have tried the obvoius).

Code:

    fprintf(PlayerSave,"%d\n", playerPtr -> name);

Should that be a string?

thanks alot guys, I would of never realised I was using "%d" instead of "%s"
