Re: [Dev-C++] newbie string parsing question

[Matt V. <m-v...@on...>]

Look up the fscanf() function.

pseudo-code:
#include <stdio.h>

char* first_name;
char* last_name;
int age;
FILE* in_file;
infile = fopen("data.txt","r");
while ( !eof(infile) ) {
	fscanf( infile, "%s\t%s\t%d\r", first_name, last_name, &age);
	// do something with the first_name, last_name, and age variables here.
}
close(infile);


I think that's right -- might want to double check all of the pointers 
and stuff (the * and & operators).  I'm just typing this off the top of 
my head so double check the syntax.
