Reading columns of strings and integers from file - c

Question

I am able to read chars, words, sentences and integers from separate files but I am struggling to read words and integers from the same file. Let's say my file contains the following:
Patrice 95
Rio 96
Marcus 78
Wayne 69
Alex 67
Chris 100
Nemanja 78
My partial solution (to read in strings) so far was to use fgetc() and check for spaces and or carriage returns in my text file to separate the name from the number.
The main issue with fgetc is that it reads in character by character, and so integers are not meant to be read in like this. As a workaround, I am converting the character to an integer whenever a number is read in.
This is the main code structure:
typedef struct person {
char name[10][10];
char surname[10][10];
int age [10];
} person_t;
FILE *inp; /* pointer to input file */
char c;
int word_count = 0;
int char_count = 0;
int i = 0;
int x;
person_t my_person;
while ((c = fgetc(inp)) != EOF) {
if (c == ' ' || c == '\r') {
printf("\n");
my_person.name[word_count][char_count] = '\0'; //Terminate the string
char_count = 0; //Reset the counter.
word_count++;
}
else {
if (c >= '0' && c <= '9') {
x = c - '0'; //converting to int
my_person.age[i] = x;
printf("%d", my_person.age[i]);
i++;
}
else {
my_person.name[word_count][char_count] = c;
printf("%c",my_person.name[word_count][char_count]);
if (char_count < 19) {
char_count++;
}
else {
char_count = 0;
}
}
}
}
}
for (int i = 0; i<7; i++) {
printf("ages: %d \n",my_person.age[i] ); //never executes
}
Sample Output:
Patrice
95
Rio
96
Marcus
78
Wayne
69
Alex
67
Chris

Why is the for loop never executing? Any suggestions on what I can improve to read the columns of strings and integers?

Answer 1

Use fgets() to read a whole line.
char line[100];
while (fgets(line, sizeof line, inp)) {
// got a line, need to isolate parts
}
Then, depending on whether the words can have embedded spaces choose one of the strategies below.
a) sscanf() to isolate name and age
while (fgets(line, sizeof line, inp)) {
char name[30];
int age;
if (sscanf(line, "%29s%d", name, &age) != 2) /* error, bad line */;
// ...
}
b) strrchr() to find the last space, then string manipulation to extract name and age.
while (fgets(line, sizeof line, inp)) {
char name[30];
int age;
char *space = strrchr(line, ' ');
if (!space) /* error, bad line */;
if (space - line >= 30) /* error, name too long */;
sprintf(name, "%.*s", space - line, line);
age = strtol(space, NULL, 10); // needs error checking
// ...
}
