Thanks for the suggestion.
I tried my best to make the problem as clear as possible. You did not get it.
Any way I will try explain it once again ( though i really do not see any point in explaining
it once again to u).
I read a string ( which is unknown prior to readig ) into character variable.
like:
char name[30];
fsacnf(fp,"%s",name);
Now I want to declare the string I have read from the file as a different variable.
Ex:
If my file contains the string "Mr.Brilliant", then name will contain the same
string.
Now I want to declare "Mr.Brilliant" as a integer, for further use in the program.
And I wanted to know how to do that.
If u still donot get it, I am sorry for u and also for myself.
Sharma.
