Thread: Reading a text file

I have previously posted a question about using code to access a file when the actual name of the file is unknown. the entire name of the text file is stored in a structure component at
file_info[selection].name. I am confused how I should go about opening this file
that portion of my code looks like this thus far.

Code:

                FILE *readfile;
	char temp;
	temp = file_info[selection].name;
			
	readfile = fopen(temp,"r");
		if(readfile == NULL)
		{
		printf("\nfile could not be opened");
     
		}
		else
		{	
		printf("\n file was opened");
                                }
	fclose(readfile);
	return 0;

Can anyone figure out why this won't work? I appreciate your help.
