    Hi, anyone knows why my code is giving me a 'fatal error'?
    I have already put my data file data.txt in the correct directory so it should not be the
    problem....:undecided



    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <string.h>
    #include <ctype.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    
    struct type_player
    {
            char name1[20], name2[20];
            int scoring_ability1, scoring_ability2, valid;
    };
    
    // function prototypes 
    void read( struct type_player player[], int *N );
    
    
    int main()
    {
            struct type_player player[100];
            int N;
    
            read( player, &N );
            //check( player, N );
            //best( player, N);
    
            return 0;
    }
    //implement function 'read'
    void read( struct type_player player[], int *N )
    {
            int number=0, i;
            FILE *fp = fopen( "data.txt", "r" );
            if( fp==NULL )
                    printf( "Unable to open the file");
            else
            {
                    fscanf( fp, "%d", &number);
                    *N=number;
                    for( i=0; i<number; i++ )
                    {
                            fscanf( fp, "%s %s %d %d", &player[i].name1, &player[i].name2, &player[i].scoring_ability1, &player[i].scoring_ability2 );
                    }
            }
            fclose( fp );
    }

    player.name1 is already the address of where you want the data to go, so you don't need to take its address again.
    If that doesn't fix it, what are the contents of data.txt?
