hi
i need to create a text file for 5 people containing four fields separated by commas
eg
jones,john,99265487,19-06-80
which corresponds to:
surname,first name,id,date of birth
each record has to be on a separate line.
Once i have done this, i have to write a C program which reads this data and allows the user to browse the data by record, allowing the user to specify First, Last, Previous and Next.
Where do i start?:confused:
How about start with creating the text file first?
> How about start with creating the text file first?
Now THAT is truly funny. I'm only sad that I didn't get here first to type it myself.
Quzah.
Assuming you have the file made ;)
Look around for descriptions of file functions such as fscanf, fprintf, fopen, FILE *, fclose, and possibly even fread/fwrite. A good place to start would be http://www.rt.com/man/
When you have problems with the code, and you will have problems with the code (trust me), come back and we'll be able to help a little more.
