Getting "incompatible types in assignment error."

[mgracecar]

I've posted this code before. Now I'm trying to take the names that I get out of this file I'm reading, and put them into a structure so I can have an array of my names retrieved.


This part is the part giving me the same error for each line.

       all[i].name = name;
       all[i].item = item;

This is my code so far.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>


struct names
{
       char name[15];
       char item[99];
       int amount;
};        

int main(void)
{

    char buffer[50];
    char name[15];
    char item[99];
    int amount;
    FILE *fp;
    FILE *fp2;
    int i=0;

    
    if ( (fp = fopen("names.csv", "r" )) == NULL )
    {
       printf("Couldn't open file\n");
       exit(1); 
    }
    
    while(fgets(buffer, sizeof(buffer), fp))
    {
       sscanf(buffer,"%[^,] ,%[^,], %d", &name, &item, &amount);
       strcat (name, ".txt");
       
       struct names all[100];
       all[i].name = name;
       all[i].item = item;
       all[i].amount = amount;
       i++;

       //create file for names
       if( (fp2 = fopen(name, "a")) == NULL )
       {
           printf("unable to open %s\n", name);
           exit( 1 );
       } 
       fprintf(fp2, "%s,%d\n", &item, amount);
       fclose(fp2);

      }
fclose(fp);
}

You cannot assign to an array like that. You must use strcpy.
