Post subject: | Load from File into Arrays |
So I'm working with the same program as in my other "Manipulating Structures" thread. I'm trying to load the information from a file into an array. So say the file is "contacts.txt". The file will read something like: Contact #1: First name: John Last name: Smith Address: 854 Elm Street Postal Code: F8F-9F4 Phone Number: (485) 495-4958 So I essentially want to load the name, address, etc. into the array that I use in the program. How might I do this? |

You have a 'contact' object? I don't know how to do it in C, but it should work like this until end_of_file { exampleContact.new contact.number = file.getline contact.firstName = file.getline .... arrayOfContacts.push (exampleContact) } you could do this with parallel array but that's messy. |
