Thread: Help using strcpy

i am trying to copy a string that i got from a file using fscanf into my struct

Code:

struct Room {
  char south, north, east, west;
  char id;
  char description[MAX_SIZE_DESC];
  char name[MAX_SIZE_NAME];
};

int buildRooms(char filename[], struct Room list[])
{
  char id[2];
  char roomname [20];
  char north[2];
  char east[2];
  char west[2];
  char south[2];
  char sentence [100];
  char space[4];
  FILE *f = fopen(filename, "r");
  if (f == NULL) {
    fprintf(stderr, "Error opening game file %s./n", filename);
    return 42;}              // failure                                                                    
  else{
      fscanf(f,"%s%s%s%s%s%s",id, roomname, north, east, west, south);
      fgets(space, sizeof(space),f);
      fgets(sentence, sizeof(sentence),f);
      struct Room list;
      strcpy(list.id, id);
  }
 fclose(f);
  return 0;                   // success                                                                   
}

i am having trouble in the first strcpy it is saying that i am passing the first argument of strcoy makes pointer from integer without a cast

any suggestions
