I just have 3 quick questions if you can help me with any of these it would be great.
1. How do I make a series of strings within a structured array sort themself in alphebical order?
2. I have the user being prompted for a filename to load. How do I make it so the filename that is typed in can be loaded and scanned in?
3. How would I save the dada that I collected into an array when I am finished with it?
These are all fairly simple answers:
1. Make a value for each letter in the alphabet (or better yet just use ASCII values), then open each string and check the first letter of the string, and sort according to the number value.
2. Just make a character array to input the name, then use the array in fopen()
Code:char filename[20];
printf("Enter file name to open");
gets(filename);
fpin=fopen(filename,"r");
3. Please be more specific with your question. Do you want to save the array into a separate file?
Meanwhile, I run the program by redirecting the input stream to a text file, and kill your program by dropping a ten meg non-newline-containing file as input for your gets call...Quote:
gets(filename);
Quzah.
alright.. to be more specific on #3. I am creating a phonebook that you can open, edit, search, delete, add, and have it sort it's self. The last name, first name and phone numbers are all stored in a structure with arrays for each of them. How would I make it so it would save the whole structure?
I have read them... but I hate the way my book explains it and i always get confused when I try to implement them.
Then show what you've implemented (by posting your code) and someone will help you with it. It's hard to help someone when you can't see what they're doing...Quote:

All I have really done is layed it out so I can see what I need to do and what I need to know before I really start workin on it... I know some of the code is wrong below. I've never really got a good understanding of structures on how to pass them and all that. so the passing is wrong, also everything is global for the moment... I'll fix that later on.

It is better to use fgets.
Error: ??Code:int menuchoice, record, i, cnt, totalcnt;
FILE *ifp;
struct record
And why do you want to use global ? Not necessary.
Ohh.. I guess you need space in
scanf("%s %s %d", &temp.lname[0],&temp.fname[0],&temp.phoneNo[0]);
