Hey, So I need to make a program that tracks enrolment. So I need to make a struct for courses. Heres where my problem starts, I get a file with several information.. the information is line by line. These are the variables in my struct course that need to be read from a file and saved :
char title[100], num[100], instructor[100], date[100], start_time[100], end_time[100] , location[100]

So the file usually has this format that is read in:

num
title
instructor
date
start_time
end_time
location
.
.
.
// same thing here repeated

All i want to figure out is how to read all 7 variables at 1 read in a file so i can assign these variables with strcpy to the struct. Thanks

#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>

int read_n_lines(char**buffer,int number_of_lines,int trailing_dimension_of_buffer,FILE*pf) {
  while (0 < number_of_lines--)
    if (NULL == fgets(*buffer++, trailing_dimension_of_buffer, pf))
      exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}

Make sure you can explain it to your teaching assistant.
Untested.

Hi, thanks for the input , i'll test it out. What would be the "trailing_dimension_of_buffer pararmeter? Thanks
