Scan file contents into an array of a structure.
- by ZaZu
Hello,
I have a structure in my program that contains a particular array. I want to scan a random file with numbers and put the contents into that array.
This is my code : ( NOTE : This is a sample from a bigger program, so I need the structure and arrays as declared )
The contents of the file are basically : 5 4 3 2 5 3 4 2
#include<stdio.h>
#define first 500
#define sec 500
struct trial{
int f;
int r;
float what[first][sec];
};
int trialtest(trial *test);
main(){
trial test;
trialtest(&test);
}
int trialtest(trial *test){
int z,x,i;
FILE *fin;
fin=fopen("randomfile.txt","r");
for(i=0;i<5;i++){
fscanf(fin,"%5.2f\t",(*test).what[z][x]);
}
fclose(fin);
return 0;
}
But the problem is, whenever this I run this code, I get this error :
(25) : warning 508 - Data of type 'double' supplied where a pointer is required
I tried adding
do{
for(i=0;i<5;i++){
q=fscanf(fin,"%5.2f\t",(*test).what[z][x]);
}
}while(q!=EOF);
But that didnt work either, it gives the same error.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem ?
