Thread: can this be done with file operations

I have a following piece of code for writing to file:

Code:

#include "stdio.h"

#define MAXITEMS	(10)

typedef struct{				 
		int     	   eItem;	        //Item id
		int eDwnlditemsSt;	//Item Download status
		bool           Dwnldreq;		//Is download req 
		char 		   pUrl[255];			//Download Url 
		char           pathstored[255];     // path were it is stored
		int  offset;		    //offset for next based on item state 
}tsClnItmsDetails;

tsClnItmsDetails ListOfItemsWrite[MAXITEMS];
//tsClnItmsDetails ListOfItemsRead[MAXITEMS];

FILE *fmineptr;

void WriteToFlash(FILE *fptr)
{
//Can this be done:
	for(int i = 0; i<MAXITEMS; i++)
	{
		fwrite(ListOfItemsWrite[i],1, sizeof(tsClnItmsDetails),fptr);
	}
}




int main()
{
	int i;

	fmineptr = fopen("mine.txt","w+");
	if(fmineptr == NULL)
		printf("Error\n");	

	for(i=0;i<MAXITEMS;i++)
	{
		ListOfItemsWrite[i].Dwnldreq = 1;
		ListOfItemsWrite[i].eDwnlditemsSt =2;
		ListOfItemsWrite[i].eItem =3;

		ListOfItemsWrite[i].offset=4;
		ListOfItemsWrite[i].pathstored = "Some path";
		ListOfItemsWrite[i].pUrl = "My path";

		WriteToFlash(fmineptr);
	}

	fclose(fmineptr);
	return 0;
}

Q:

1. I have errors while compiling:
1> No user-defined-conversion operator available that can perform this conversion, or the operator cannot be called
1>d:\source\trystructread\trystructread\trystructr ead\trystructread.cpp(52) : error C2440: '=' : cannot convert from 'const char [10]' to 'char [255]'
1> There is no context in which this conversion is possible
1>d:\source\trystructread\trystructread\trystructr ead\trystructread.cpp(53) : error C2440: '=' : cannot convert from 'const char [8]' to 'char [255]'

2. I am have to write an entire structure to a File.

Yes, it can be done, but you're not doing it right. Doesn't "fwrite()" take a pointer as the data? I don't see your code passing a pointer.
And, you can't copy two arrays by just using "=". Use "strcpy()" instead.

I am passing the baseAddress to fwrite();

Kindly help me with a compilable statement for the above fwrite.


Thanks in advance
