Recursive fonction to converse character

[Exode]

Hi all, I'm starting to learn the C language and having a hard time finding help for what I'm doing.

My program handle books' informations. I have a struct containing different fields for each information (title, autor, subject, etc).

I need to create a recursive fonction that goes through a file, read every struct and for each autor, changes the name to lowercase except for the first letter, which should be converted to uppercase.

Any help or indication woudl be highly appreciated. Thanks all for your time.

Any reason this *must* be recursive? An iterative solution would do a good job, and be simple to understand. Just read data in alter it, the write it back out (to a new file maybe).

Hmm.
function proto=readRecord(FILE *, struct record *);

1. Use fgets() and sscanf() or fscanf() to read
the required info into your linked list at record.
Handle errors. You may need to check for a valid
start sequence in file before committing data to
your structure.

2. Think of the recursion as repetitive reading
of one record and committing to a new list element
with the file pointer advancing till eof.

Thats it.
