good day programmers.. i have been on this project lately. i am trying to make a simulation of an Online Journal.
in the first part is the Main Menu. after it is the sub-menu if you choose 'A'..
on that sub-menu i have trouble accessing my structured data type struct clients. what do i have to do?

#include <stdio.h>
#include <ctype.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <string.h>



struct clients{
	   char fName[15];
	   char uName[10];
	   char pWord[10];
	   int dJoined[10];
	   int dEntry[10];
	   int tEntry[8];
	   char journal[];
	   };
	   
int main(){
	
	printf("MAIN MENU\n[A] New User\n[B] Old User\n[C] Quit\n\n");
	ch = getche();
	ch = toupper(ch);
	
	   while(ch=='A'||'B'||'C'){
				if(ch=='A'){
							
	FILE *cfPtr;
	
		 if((cfPtr=fopen("users.txt","w"))==NULL){
		 											printf("File could not be opened\n");
													}
													
			else{
				 printf("\nEnter the Full Name\nUser Name\nPassword\nDate Joined.\nEnter EOF to end input.\n");
				 printf("-");
				 scanf("%s%s%s%d", clients.fName, clients.uName, clients.pWord, clients.dJoined);
				 
				 while(!feof(stdin)){
				 					 fprintf(cfPtr, "%s* %s* %s* %d*\n", fName, uName, pWord, dJoined);
				 					 printf("-");
				 					 scanf("%s%s%s%d", &fName, &uName, &pWord, dJoined);
									 }
									 
									 fclose(cfPtr);
									 }
									 }
									 }
									 }

i also got this error messages..

 G:\proj.cpp expected primary-expression before '.' token

Hi,

You have a struct called clients so in main you have to instantiate a new instance of the struct

like this

clients newclient;

then you can access it by

newclient.fName etc..


You have other errors...

Snoopy said that perfectly.

But for future reference. Formatting your code to be easily read by anyone trying to read it can come in handy. I hate to say it but this code looks like a jumbled mess and is one of my biggest pet peeves.

Just a quick tip. Line up corresponding: curly braces, statements/expressions that might take up more than one line, method headers, etc.. If you want a quick simple example, try this link below. It will give you a short 10-12 line code piece that is well formatted and universally easy to read.

Formatting

Happy Coding =)

As an aside, you seem to be saving your code into .cpp file indicating that you want write C++ code, yet the code you have posted seems to be primarily C code with the use of printf(), fopen(), etc.

while(ch=='A'||'B'||'C')

Nope, doesn't work the way you think.

char journal[];

Again, wrong. you have to give an array a size at the time of declaration.
