Thread: Why is the data in my structure getting overwritten

A few of things:

- fputs() is for putting strings, you can't use it to output ints (like you are doing). Use printf() instead.
EG
>fputs(data[i].scores[x], stdout); is wrong
>printf("%d", data[i].scores[x]); is correct

>data[i].ID = (int) p;
>data [i].scores[x] = (int) p;
is wrong. p is a pointer. You need to do something like
>data[i].ID = atoi(p);
>data [i].scores[x] = atoi(p);

There, I think it works now. Have a go and see what you think.

Code:

Julie Adams         1234 52 7 100 78 34
Harry Smith         2134 90 36 90 77 30

Ted Turner          5405 11 11 0 78 10
Evelyn Gilley       6999 0 98 89 78 20
Scores of data structures element 10: 55 50 99 78 55

Also, instead of using your errormsg function, you could use perror(). It'll tell you why the file cannot be accessed.

oh right
i realized about that fputs thingy once i posted it cuz it kept giving me warnings so i changed that but atoi....
man
i am so not aware of that function

but what should i say

u r a pure genius
and u were right
it worked. it was all because of that stupid

Code:

(int) p;

instead of

Code:

atoi (p)

Thanks so much Hammer

You have no idea, i have spent my last 2 days just trying to figure out to get this done and then u come along and solve it so easily
makes me feel kinda ****ty now
but anywayz, thanks a lot
