What is wrong? I can't add...
Ok Here is a problem, I got a imaginary database program that I need
to code, to add a patient I have function inser_patient. but when I
try to input the details it doesn't quite work the way I wanted it to.
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <string.h>
#define MAXPATIENTS 20
struct details {
int id;
char forename[20];
char initial;
char surname[20];
int day_of_entry;
int max_wait;
};
struct details patient[MAXPATIENTS];
int npatients = 0;
int insert_patient(int index, struct details newpatient);
int main (void) {
int Choice;
int id;
int loop = 1;
int n=0;
int error=0;
int limit;
int Qnum;
FILE * fptr; //Declares file pointer as "fptr"
fptr = fopen("queue.dat", "r"); //Opens queue.dat to fptr
//Reading
while (fscanf(fptr,"%d %s %c %s %d %d[^\n]", &patient[n].id,
patient[n].forename, &patient[n].initial, patient[n].surname,
&patient[n].day_of_entry, &patient[n].max_wait) != EOF){
n++;
}
fclose(fptr);
//Loop that continues the program
while(loop != 0){
//To keep program running
//Displaying Menu
printf("\n\n");
printf("%d \n",day_now());
printf("_________________________________________\n");
printf("|-----------NHS Queue Control-----------|\n");
printf("| Create New Patient \t- Press 1\t|\n");
printf("| Delete Patient \t- Press 2\t|\n");
printf("| Find Patient \t\t- Press 3\t|\n");
printf("| List Queue \t\t- Press 4\t|\n");
printf("| Treate Next Patient \t- Press 5\t| \n");
printf("| Quit \t\t\t- Press 6\t|\n");
printf("|_______________________________________|\n");
printf("Choice: ");
scanf("%d",&Choice);
printf("\n");
//Choice made, carrying out function
switch (Choice){
//New Patient
case 1:
limit = n;
if(limit < 21){
list_queue();
printf("\nPlease enter the following details\n");
printf("What Queue Number would you like to place this patient
to?\n");
scanf("%d", &Qnum);
printf("Patient ID: ");
scanf("%d", &patient[20].id);

scanf("%s ", patient[20].surname);

scanf("%d ", &patient[20].max_wait);
patient[20].day_of_entry = day_now();
error = insert_patient(Qnum, patient[20]);
if(error == -1){
printf("Error - Patient exists!\n");
}
else {
printf("\nPatient Inserted!\n");
}
}
else {
printf("Array is Full!\n");
}
break;
}
return 0;
}
//This is the add function
int insert_patient(int index, struct details newpatient) {
int i = 0;
int n = 0;
int y = find_patient_id(index) ;
int x;
int error;
FILE * fptr; //Declares file pointer as "fptr"
fptr = fopen("queue.dat", "r");
while (fscanf(fptr,"%d %s %c %s %d %d[^\n]", &patient[n].id,
patient[n].forename, &patient[n].initial, patient[n].surname,
&patient[n].day_of_entry, &patient[n].max_wait) != EOF){
n++;
}
fclose(fptr);
if(y == -1){
fptr = fopen("queue.dat", "w");
for(i=0;i<=index-2;i++){
fprintf(fptr,"%d ",patient[i].id);

Are we supposed to guess what you are talking about? What did you
want? What actually happened?

This is the wrong test. fscanf returns EOF only if no data was
converted. You should be proceeding only if the return value is 6.

You never check for n overflowing the number of elements in your
array.

You never use limit so why do you care what it's value is.

There is no prototype in scope for this function.

On a buffered system, calls to printf that don't end with a '\n' may
not appear before the system waits for input. If you want the input
to appear on the same line as the prompt, you should add
fflush(stdout);
to insure the buffer is flushed to the stream.
> scanf("%d", &patient[20].id);
Every use of patient[20] invokes undefined behavior. The valid
subscripts are 0 through 19 (MAXPATIENTS-1).

This will cause problems with any following calls to scanf. To enter
the initial, you will have to press two keys, one for the letter and
one for ENTER. This will result in two characters in the input
stream, one for the letter and a '\n' for the ENTER. The %c will only
consume the letter. The '\n' will stay in the stream and terminate
the next scanf prematurely.

While it is perfectly legal to pass a struct, the common
recommendation is to pass a pointer to the struct if the structure is
larger that trivial.

You already read the records into patient back in main. Why are you
reading them again?

between them. How is your call to fscanf supposed to know where
forename ends and initial begins?
> fprintf(fptr,"%s ",patient[i].surname);

Ditto between surname and both integer fields or between day_of_entry
and max_wait.

(or un-), the data is initialized since patient is at file scope.
Did you mean n-1? That would make sense but the common idiom is
i < n, not i <= n-1.

You start by either fixing the things Barry mentioned or state why his
objections were not valid. Then, post that modified, indented, code, with a
question inserted somewhere in the post.

This will cause problems with any following calls to scanf. To enter
the initial, you will have to press two keys, one for the letter and
one for ENTER. This will result in two characters in the input
stream, one for the letter and a '\n' for the ENTER. The %c will only
consume the letter. The '\n' will stay in the stream and terminate
the next scanf prematurely.
How do I prevent this from ending prematurely?? by changing
&patient[20].initial to &patient[19].initial ??

scanf("%c%c", &a, &junk) ;
where a and junk are variables of type char.
Note that your quoting mechanism is messed up.
