Thread: reading string and integers from a text file

I am trying to read a text filewith an 'unknown' number of name strings and integer test scores. this is the latest attempt. I only get the first character instead of the string.

int ReadFile ( char *CharArrayPtr, int *IntArrayPtr )
{
int RecordCount = 0;

rewind ( fin );
while ( fgets ( &CharArrayPtr[RecordCount], 13, fin ))
{
fscanf ( fin, "%d", &IntArrayPtr[RecordCount] );
RecordCount ++;
}
close (fin );
return ( RecordCount );
}

CharArrayPtr is a pointer to a 2D array for the name strings. IntArrayPtr is for the test scores. fin is the pointer to my text file.

Normally, you use fgets to read a whole line, then use sscanf (or whatever you want) to extract the information from the line.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

int ReadFile ( FILE *fin, char (*CharArrayPtr)[20], int *IntArrayPtr ) { 
    char buff[BUFSIZ];
    int i = 0; 
    rewind ( fin ); 

    // read each line from the file
    while ( fgets ( buff, BUFSIZ, fin ) != NULL ) {
        // if it contains the data we expect
        if ( sscanf( buff, "%s %d", CharArrayPtr[i], &IntArrayPtr[i]) == 2 ) {
            // then increment the count
            i++;
        } else {
            // some error message perhaps
        }
    }
    return i;
} 

int main ( ) {
    char    names[100][20];
    int     scores[100];
    int     n = ReadFile( stdin, names, scores );
    int     i;
    printf( "%d records\n", n );
    for ( i = 0 ; i < n ; i++ ) {
        printf( "%2d: %s %d\n", i, names[i], scores[i] );
    }
    return 0;
}

I think I can make that work. Thanks
