the problem is.. a certain .dat file consists of 3 fields of data..for example...user account, password and username (gibsonML, sweetie33, Mel Gibson). How I will load it and then assign it to hash table. Thanks..

So is this about reading files, or hash tables?

fopen() to open a file, fclose() to close it when you're done.
fgets() to read each line from the file
sscanf() to extract information from the line
The first step is to show you can read the file reliably, Say by printing out
user account = gibsonML
password = ...
etc
for each valid record in the file.
Then we can talk about step 2
