    <p>I need to read text from a file and assign values to a struct based on information read.</p> <p>Here is the format of the text file: </p> <pre><code>First Middle Last Address city state zip age sex tenure salary \-------------------------------------------------------------- ADA A AGUSTA 33 BABBAGE ROAD LOVELACE GB 19569 28 F 2 350.50 ISSAC A ASIMOV 99 FICTION WAY AMHERST MA 63948 58 M 6 423.88 HUMPHRY R BOGART 71 SAM STREET HOLLYWOOD CA 48482 56 M 5 366.00 </code></pre> <p>And the struct I have to read it into: </p> <pre><code>typedef struct { char first[8], initial, last[10], street[17], city[12], state[3]; int age, tenure, zip; float salary; char sex; }Employee; </code></pre> <p>The code I have used so far has been: </p> <pre><code>void inputLine(Employee* e) { fscanf(pay, "%s %s %s %s %s %s %s %s %d %d %s %d %f", e-&gt;first, &amp;e-&gt;initial, e-&gt;last, e-&gt;street, e-&gt;street, e-&gt;city, e-&gt;city, e-&gt;state, &amp;e-&gt;zip, &amp;e-&gt;age, &amp;e-&gt;sex, &amp;e-&gt;tenure, &amp;e-&gt;salary); } </code></pre> <p>But when I print each line, the first few lines are fine, then things start messing up: </p> <pre><code>TED L KOPPEL ABC WASHINGTON DC 37376 48 M 9 909.44 DAVID T LETTERMAN WNBC NEW YORK 0 0 NY 1 47 5 STEVIE R 0 0 NICKS 3 MUSIC CHICAGO 23459 38 0 0 F 8 460.88 P 76 SILLY 0 89 STREET L GB 44 2 320.50 0 12341 </code></pre> <p>I have also tried: </p> <pre><code>void inputLine(Employee* e) { char line[53]; fgets(line, 52, pay); printf("%s\n", line); fflush(stdout); sscanf(line, "%s %s %s %s %s %s %s %s %d %d %s %d %f", e-&gt;first, &amp;e-&gt;initial, e-&gt;last, e-&gt;street, e-&gt;street, e-&gt;city, e-&gt;city, e-&gt;state, &amp;e-&gt;zip, &amp;e-&gt;age, &amp;e-&gt;sex, &amp;e-&gt;tenure, &amp;e-&gt;salary); } </code></pre> <p>But that gives the same result.</p> <p>The code cannot be in C++. I am using the Linux GNU GCC 4.8.1 compiler, but I have also tested this on Mac's compiler and it did not work.</p>
