Why are you using semicolons at the end of following statements :

Quote:

if(strcmp(((p[ctr]).name),pname) == 0);

Quote:

while(fscanf(fr,"%s%d\n",((p[i]).name),&((p[i]).score)) == 2);

Any reason for this? I believe these are the problematic points in your code.

try this :

#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>

struct player
{
 char name[20];
 int score;
};

int read(struct player p[1000]);
void write(struct player p[1000],int idx);

int main()
{
 struct player p[1000];
 //int size;
 int idx;
 char pname[20];
 int same = 1;
 int ctr;
    
 idx = read(p);       
// size = idx;

 
 while(same == 1)
  {
   printf("Enter your first name(only) MAROONED player!\n");
   scanf("%s",pname);
  
   ctr = 0;
   while(ctr < idx)
    {
     if(strcmp(((p[ctr]).name),pname) == 0)
      {
       same = 0;
       break;
      }
     ctr++;
    }
   printf(" record not found!!! ctr = %d and idx = %d\n", ctr, idx);
   if(ctr == idx)
    {
     strcpy(((p[idx]).name),pname);
     ((p[idx]).score) = 0;
     idx++;

     break;
    }
  }

printf("\n%s %s\n",p[1].name,p[2].name);
 write(p,idx);

 
system("pause > null");
return 0;         
}



int read(struct player p[1000])
{
int i=0;
FILE *fr;
 
  fr = fopen("player.txt","r");       
 
  if(fr == NULL)
   {
    printf("ERROR : unable to read!\n");
    return 0;
   }
  while(fscanf(fr,"%s%d\n",((p[i]).name),&((p[i]).score)) == 2)    
   {
    printf(" \nplayer Name = %s with score = %d\n", p[i].name, p[i].score);
    i++;
   }      
 printf("Final val of idx = %d\n", i);

 fclose(fr);
 
return i;
}

void write(struct player p[1000],int idx)
{
 FILE *fw;
 int ctr;
 
 fw = fopen("player.txt","w");
 
 if(fw == NULL)
  {
   printf("ERROR opening file!\n");
   return;
  }
 
 for(ctr=0;ctr<(idx);ctr++)

  {
   fprintf(fw,"%s %d\n",((p[ctr]).name),((p[ctr]).score));
  }

fclose(fw);

printf("\nplayer records updated\n");

return;
}
