I'm able to import the file and read it, but I don't think it's saving to the structure. I want to figure out how to save it within the structure so I can search/ delete the contacts. The unfortunately lengthy code is below:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <conio.h>
#define BUFFSIZE 500
//Structure for contacts. These are now pointers.
typedef struct friends_contact{
char *First_Name;
char *Last_Name;
char *home;
char *cell;
}fr;
//Function declarations
void menu(fr*friends ,int* counter,int i,char buffer[]);
void setFirst(fr*,int *,int i,char buffer[]);
char getFirst(fr*,int i);
void setLast(fr*friends, int* counter, int i,char buffer[]);
char getLast(fr*friends , int i);
void setHome(fr*friends, int* counter, int i,char buffer[]);
char getHome(fr*friends, int i);
void setCell(fr*friends, int* counter, int i,char buffer[]);
char getCell(fr*friends, int i);
void add_contact(fr*friends,int* counter,int i,char buffer[]);
void print_contact(fr*friends ,int* counter, int i,char user_entry3[50]);
char delete_contact(fr*friends ,int* counter, int i);
int show_contact(fr*friends ,int* counter, int i);
void file(fr*friends ,int* counter, int i,char user_entry3[50]);
void file2 (fr*friends ,int* counter, int i,char buffer[],FILE*read);
int main()
{
fr friends[5];
char buffer[BUFFSIZE];
int counter=0;
int i=0;
menu(friends, &counter,i,buffer);
getch();
return 0;
}
//Menu function

char user_entry3[50]={'\0'};

I understand the code isn't perfect, and might have a few flaws that aren't related to this question, but I've been trying for a while to figure this issue out. It would be greatly appreciated if someone could help me out !
