Hey all. I'm new to this forum and also to C. This homework is killing me, I have no idea how I should start it. Essentially, I have to read a text file whose input file has a list of these:

1301,204415019,"LastName","FirstName",EEE, 230,="R01"

and categorize them into their respective columns, sorted by name. I have to put the info from the file into an array of structs and output the data in a table format. I need to use two or more source files and a makefile.

The problem here is that I've just learned about all these things and I don't really know what the general process should be like. Some tips and pointers would be cool.

Please post an effort, even if it's an outline of an algorithm.

LOAD DATA:
while there's more in the file
-read line
-parse line
-store the parse result into an array


SORT:
qsort(correct,arguments)

DISPLAY:
for each record
-show it



Makefile


override CFLAGS += -Wall -g

hw1: hw1.c hw.h

I finished your homework. You want a peudocode of it?

As long as its the general idea sure. As much as I would love a straight up answer, I can't accept it. My pride won't let me haha. If your code is pseudo as you say, I would much apreciate it.
