    error C2059: syntax error : '('

    Why do I get this error?

    Code:
     
    do{
    				       (linia_tren->dades_parades)++;
    }while(strcmp(parada1, (*linia_tren).(*dades_parades).nom_parada) != 0  && strcmp(parada2, (*linia_tren).(*dades_parades).nom_parada) != 0);
    Here there are the types declarations:
    Code:
    typedef struct
    {
       char nom_parada[MAX_NOM];
       int distancia_anterior;
       int temps_anterior;
    } parada;
    
    typedef struct
    {
       char nom_linia[MAX_NOM];
       int n_parades;
       parada *dades_parades;
    } linia;
    And variables

    Code:
    char nom_linia [MAX_NOM], parada1 [MAX_NOM], parada2 [MAX_NOM];
       linia *linia_tren;

    Instead of:
    Code:
    (*linia_tren).(*dades_parades).nom_parada
    you probably wanted to write:
    Code:
    linia_tren->dades_parades->nom_parada
    or if you insist on the longer version:
    Code:
    (*(*linia_tren).dades_parades).nom_parada

    I get maybe two dozen requests for help with some sort of programming or design problem every day. Most have more sense than to send me hundreds of lines of code. If they do, I ask them to find the smallest example that exhibits the problem and send me that. Mostly, they then find the error themselves. "Finding the smallest program that demonstrates the error" is a powerful debugging tool.
