Homework HELP - Problem Printing to file

We have a homework problem that requires us to compare two files and combine data from both in order to make a third file. I am having trouble printing multiple lines of data to the third file. You can find the project description at the following website:

http://www.brentshreve.com

You can look at my code through this link:

http://www.brentshreve.com/test.c

You will need these files in your local directory to properly execute my code:

Thank you for your time in responding. You can e-mail me at [email protected] or call me at (765) 490-9644 if you're nice enough :o) This project is due at 11pm CST tonight. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Is this the programmer for hire forum..?

No, I only have one problem with a little part of the project, but it's preventing me from doing the rest of the project.

> if (userid2 == userid)
Use strcmp() or strncmp() to compare strings:
if (strcmp(userid2, userid) == 0) /* Strings are equal */

> This project is due at 11pm CST tonight
Try www.cprog-tardis.com or www.cprog-miracles.com then. Quite what you expect anyone else to do about it with about 4 hours to go is beyond me. Maybe a course in basic time managment would be a good idea, because if you can't manage that, coding is not for you.

Dang it, I knew I was supposed to be somewhere, but I missed that lecture :rolleyes:

> o To use malloc you will need to include malloc.h
Oh you poor soul, you're learning from someone who doesn't know C either (now how often do we see that here!)
Try stdlib.h

Oh man, I was SO looking forward to reading that - just to see how badly your tutors are at coding in C. If it's anything like the usual benchmark, 10% of the lines are incorrect in some way.

I heard they used Merge Sort. At least that's what I'm told, I pay someone to go to the lectures for me. :p
