thanks for the help!!! I have been working on this program nonstop for about 7 hours or so.
Here's what I have in my main.c file, .h file, and another .c that contains my functions, Here they are in that order.
Here's the problem now. I am trying to read in a file called "matchmaker.txt" and it will NOT read it in. Even if I put the file in directly I always get a return for it not being read "file can not be found" from my program.
matchmaker.c
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include "matchmaker.h"
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int total, x;
FILE* fp = NULL;
person* array = NULL;
fp = openfile();
total = readtotal(fp);
array = readfile(fp, total);
fclose(fp);
findMatch(array, total);
for(x = 0; x < total; x++)
{
free(array[x].first);
array[x].first=NULL;
free(array[x].last);
array[x].last=NULL;
free(array[x].color);
array[x].color=NULL;
free(array[x].hobby);
array[x].hobby=NULL;
}
free(array);
array = NULL;
system("PAUSE");
return 0;
}
header file - "matchmaker.h"
Code:
#ifndef matchmaker_H
#define matchmaker_H
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
struct Person
{
char* first;
char* last;
char sex;
int age;
char* color;
char* hobby;
};
typedef struct Person person;
FILE* openfile();
int readtotal(FILE* fp);
person * readfile(FILE * fp, int total);
void findMatch(person *array, int total);
#endif
functions file "matchmakerFunc.c"
Code:
#include "matchmaker.h"

//printf("Enter the name of the file: ");
fgets(filename, 100, stdin);
//scanf("%s", filename); //i tried this thinking maybe it could be the fgets causing the problem, but it's not
len = strlen(filename);
if(filename[len-1] = '\n')

fp = fopen(filename, "r");
if(fp == NULL)
