Thread: getting subscripted value is neither array nor pointer error

Code:

int get_circuit(void)
{
   char buffer[100] = {0};  /* initialized to zeroes */
   int i,a, rc;
	float x;	

	char member0[10] = "test";

   FILE *fp = fopen(FILE_NAME_IN,"r");
   if (fp == NULL) {
     perror("Failed to open file \"myfile\"");
   return EXIT_FAILURE;
   }
   for (i = 0; (rc = getc(fp)) != EOF && i < 	100; buffer[i++] = rc)
     ;
   fclose(fp);

	//print out the contents of buffer
	for(i=0;i<10;i++)
	{
		printf("buffer[%i] = %c\n",i,buffer[i]);

		if(buffer[i]==' ');
		{
			x = atoi(buffer);
			a++;
		}		
		printf("x = %f",x);
	}

	printf("ready to print the array");
	getchar();
	print_c_array(buffer);

	strcpy(x[0].name,member0);        //<- this is the line it refers to


  	return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

The structure defined as a globlal

Code:

struct components
{
char name[20];
float value;
}x[10];

Thanks in advance, Mick
