Grabbing each line from CSV to Struct - Volitair - Nov 11, 2018

Hey guys,

I recently started to work with C in school and I am trying to make a program which can read each line from a CSV file and store it in a struct named "Products". The struct must be able to handle up to 100 products in total (The product.csv file contains 50 lines of products). So far this class that I have can read one line from the CSV file, and it only grabs the first line. If I use fgets again, it will overwrite the first line and give me the second line which is not what I need.

This is what the assignment says:
The input file products.csv contains about 50 items. Each single row corresponds to a product. A loaded line must be saved in one
struct, with the name being, with content as above (The struct at the bottom of the thread). Create a field with these commodities with space for 100 pieces of goods.

So far this is the code I have:

Code 
#include <stdio.h>

#include <string.h>

#include <stdlib.h>

#include <ctype.h>

#include "header.h"

int getfile(void) 

{ 

  char *oneline, *tok;

  char oneproduct[256];

  char delim[] = ",";

  FILE *fp;

  if ((fp = fopen("products.csv", "r")) == NULL) {

    fprintf(stderr, "The file products.csv was unable to open. \n");

  }

  fgets(oneproduct, 256, fp);

  oneproduct[strlen(oneproduct) - 1] = '\0';

  printf("One line: %s\n", oneproduct);

  oneline = strdup(oneproduct);

  tok = strtok(oneline, delim);

  while (tok != NULL) {

    printf("%s\n", tok);

    tok = strtok(NULL, delim);

  }

  free(oneline); free(tok);

  fclose(fp);

  return 0;

}

The struct must contain the following items:

Code 
struct product

{

    int productID;

    char name[100];

    float price;

    float volym;

    char type[100];

    char stil[100];

    char containment[50];

    char country[50];

    char producer[100];

    float alcoholpercentage;

};

Any ideas on how I can proceed to grab each line using a loop or something and store them in a struct?

I am willing to pay in bitcoin if someone could help me out with this :)

Thanks!

struct product products[100]
loop the lines count and sign the products array properties with your data
