i had written a C file to read Members.txt into char w[100]; array like:

int main()
{
       int i = 0, line = 5;
       char w[100];
       char f[20];
       char k[15];
       FILE *myfile;
                      myfile = fopen("Members.txt","r");
                      if (myfile== NULL)
                      {
                       printf("can not open file \n");
                       return 1;
                      }

     while(line--){
                   fscanf(myfile,"%s",&w[i]);
                   i++;
                   printf("\n%s", &w[i]);
                  }
                   fclose(myfile);
        return 0;
}

but ,i need every newline ofMembers.txt to be saved into different array line by line.

Here is the solution if you want to read the file and store inside array, You cannot store inside array, but you can store inside structure of array. Here I make you can access 100 lines of text file. Here is the code anyway:

#include <stdio.h>

//Use Structure to store more than one data type
//Since your file not only consist of string, it also have int
struct members
{
    char a[100];
    char b[100];
    long long int c;
    long long int d;
};
//Here I make 100 line so that you can read 100 line of text file
struct members cur_member[100];

int main(void) {
    FILE *myfile = fopen("Members.txt", "r");
    if (myfile == NULL) {
        printf("Cannot open file.\n");
        return 1;
    }
    else {
        //Check for number of line
            char ch;
            int count = 0;
        do
        {
        ch = fgetc(myfile);
        if (ch == '\n') count++;
        } while (ch != EOF);
        rewind(myfile);

        //Since you put 2 earlier in the member.txt we need to dump it
        //so that it wont affect the scanning process
        int temp;
        fscanf(myfile, "%d", &temp);
        printf("%d\n", temp);
        //Now scan all the line inside the text
        int i;
        for (i = 0; i < count; i++) {
            fscanf(myfile, "%s %s %lld %lld\n", cur_member[i].a, cur_member[i].b, &cur_member[i].c, &cur_member[i].d);
            printf("%s %s %lld %lld\n", cur_member[i].a, cur_member[i].b, cur_member[i].c, cur_member[i].d);
        }
    }
}

And this is the result:

Press any key to continue . . .

This program will read your current file and I just print it, to show it works. You can access the information and edit the file. Thats all..
