Can anyone please tell me why my program will not compile

I'm trying to read a file into my program and what I would like to do is ignore any line starting with a # and the subsequent lines that start with & tokenise.

for example an extract of the file I'm working with:

# SCM Students
&ABBOTT DARREN - 01 MSc COMP AIDED GRAPHICAL TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS
M00641X [email protected]rch
M00641X [email protected]-arkengarthdale

&ACHMET ALPER - 02 CERTIFICATE IN PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
L36092X [email protected]rch
L36092X [email protected]-arkengarthdale


What I want to be able to do is ignore the first line of the code then when we see & I would like to be able to tokenise ABBOTT and also DARREN.

What I'm trying to do is create an email address something like [email protected]rch

This is what I have got so far I think the problem lies with the function decleration but not sure, can anyone please help.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

char *make(char *s);

int main()

{ char buffer[101], s[101] , *name[20] ;
char *mark, *test;
int i;
FILE *ifp, *ofp;

if ((ifp=fopen("scmemail.txt", "r")) == NULL)
printf("could't open scmemail.txt");
if ((ofp=fopen("email.txt", "w")) == NULL)
printf("couldn't open email.txt");

while(fgets(buffer,101,ifp) !=NULL)

{
strcpy(s,buffer);
switch(buffer[0])
{
case'#':break;
case'&'rintf("here now");
test = make(s);
break;
}
char *make(char *s)
{
i==0;
mark=strtok(s," &");

while(*mark != '-')
{
name[i++]=mark;
mark=strtok(NULL, " ");
printf("got this far");
}

return s;
}
fputs(mark,stdout);

/* fputs(mark,stdout);*/
/* fputs(buffer,stdout);/*
/* fputs(buffer,ofp); */

}

fclose(ifp);
fclose(ofp);


Thank you for any advise, I am new to C If anyone knows what I need to do would you explain to me, I want to be able to learn rather than just copy.

It looks like you are trying to define the function make() within the function main().

while(fgets(buffer,101,ifp) !=NULL)
{
  strcpy(s,buffer);
  switch(buffer[0])
  {
    case'#':break;
    case'&':printf("here now");
    test = make(s);
    break;
  }
  char *make(char *s)
  {
    i==0;
    mark=strtok(s," &");
 
    while(*mark != '-')
    {
      name[i++]=mark;
      mark=strtok(NULL, " ");
      printf("got this far");
    }

make()'s definition has been placed within a while loop of main(), which is no good.
