Hello!
I'm new here, and I need some help. :)
I am working on a program that has to write and read a binary file. I have to add lectures to it, they look like:
COURSECODE;COURSENAME;MAXAPPLICANTS;ACTUALAPPLICANTS;
I could write that in a file without any problems using char*
.
My question is: how do I read that back in a struct if the records are non-fixed size? (e.g.: coursename can be Linear Algebra or Analysis -> length is non-determined) I also need to modify the actual applicants number, how do I find the character position of it, and the current line?
I'd be happy with ideas, and I would appreciate any source code as well, I was programming in C++ and C is a hard step-back for me.
Thank you in advance!
