Thread: read a structure from a file

i have the following structure:

Code:

typedef struct fagure
{
        int celule[50];
        char tip;
        int regine[300];
} fagure;

and i have a file with the structure

[aray of int] [char (C or R character)] [aray of int]
... many lines

what would be a smart way to read it ?

i've done something like this:

Code:

        fagure temp;
        char a;
        int n=0,m=0;
        temp.tip=0;
        while((fscanf(f,"%c",&a))!=EOF)
        {
                if((a!=' ')&&(a!='\n'))
                {
                        if((a=='C')||(a=='R')) temp.tip=a;
                        if(temp.tip==0) temp.celule[n++]=a-'0';
                        if((temp.tip!=0)&&(a!='C')&&(a!='R')) temp.regine[m++]=a-'0';
                }
                if(a=='\n')
                {
                        generare(temp,n,m);
                        temp.tip=0;
                        n=0;
                        m=0;
                }
        }
        generare(temp,n,m);

where generare(temp,n,m) is the print function.
The only problem with this sort of read is that if i have a two digit number it separes it in do numers of one digit.

Pls help!

Thank you!

used fread() fucntion to read a one whole record from the file. to do this u need to open the file in binary mode and work on it. when ever u read a data from a file u are reading in terms of one whole record rather than char or a sinle word or a line. fwrite fucntion to write back to the binary file.
