File Handling problem :S

[SuperSharp]

Hi there,
I am having problems reading from a file and storing the data in a struct. Basically its a league table and I don't have any problem writing to a file or even reading from it, it just doesn't seem to want to update my struct. Here is the function:

void load_table()
{
        FILE *in_file;
        int count = 0;
        in_file = fopen("league.dat", "r");
        while ( !feof(in_file) )
        {
           fscanf(in_file, "%s %d %d %d %d %d %d %d", table[count].name, &table[count].p, &table[count].w,
           &table[count].d,&table[count].l, &table[count].f, &table[count].a, &table[count].t);
           count++;
        }
        //test to see if it is reading which is it
        fclose(in_file);
        printf("\n%s\t\t%d %d %d %d %d %d %d",table  [1].name, table[1].p, table[1].w,
        table[1].d, table[1].l, table[1].f, table[1].a, table[1].t);
}

I have the struct in "global" and it seems to work for eveything else:

 struct league
{
        char name[21];
    int p,w,d,l,f,a,t;
}table[12];

the p = played, w = won, d = draw etc.
char is the name of the teams.

No matter what I do it just don't store the data from the file into the struct. Any ideas anyone? Any help would be greatly appriciated, thanks very much.

What you had seemed to work for me, but I might make a couple changes:

void load_table()
{
   int i = 0;
   FILE *in_file = fopen("league.dat", "r");
   if ( in_file )
   {
      while ( fscanf(in_file, "%s %d %d %d %d %d %d %d",
                     table[i].name, &table[i].p, &table[i].w,
                     &table[i].d,   &table[i].l, &table[i].f,
                     &table[i].a,   &table[i].t) == 8 )
      {
         // test to see if it is reading which is it
         printf("%s\t\t%d %d %d %d %d %d %d\n",table  [i].name,
                table[i].p, table[i].w, table[i].d, table[i].l,
                table[i].f, table[i].a, table[i].t);
         i++;
      }
      fclose(in_file);
   }
}

Hello!

Thanks very much for the reply. I am still having the same issues that the table is being displayed but not stored into the struct. I have another function 'display table' and after I have loaded it, it is always blank. The load feature only seems to display what is in the file. Hmmm I really can't figure it out, if anyone could help with this that would be brilliant. Thanks,

Edd

Thanks very much for all your help, I have got it working now. I am starting to understand all this C business (slowly) =)
Cheers again!
