I'm trying to write a program in C (not C++) that reads a wtmpx file (holds data on when users logon/off a unix machine). Anyway, I have a struct that has all the variables that I need to read in from the file. The file's contents are based off this struct. Some of the variables are character strings of a fixed size. I need to know how I can read in an entire struct worth of data from the file using fscanf() instead of read(). Any help would be much appreciated.

The struct I'm using is at the bottom of that page.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?
