I wrote this simple program in C, because I’m studying FILES right now at University. I take a txt file with a list of the results of the last race so my program will show the data formatted as I want. Here’s my code:

/* Esercizio file Motogp */
#include <stdio.h>
#define SIZE 20

int main ()
{
    int pos, punt, num;
    float kmh;
    char nome[SIZE+1], cognome[SIZE+1], moto[SIZE+1];
    char naz[SIZE+1], nome_file[SIZE+1];

    FILE *fp;

    printf ("Inserisci il nome del file da aprire: ");
    gets (nome_file);

    fp = fopen (nome_file, "r");

    if (fopen == NULL)
        printf ("Errore nell' apertura del file %s\n", nome_file);
    else {

        while (fscanf (fp, "%d %d %d %s %s %s %s %.2f",
                &pos, &punt, &num, nome, cognome, naz, moto, &kmh) != EOF ) {

              printf ("Posizione di arrivo: %d\n", pos);
              printf ("Punteggio: %d\n", punt);
              printf ("Numero pilota: %d\n", num);
              printf ("Nome pilota: %s\n", nome);
              printf ("Cognome pilota: %s\n", cognome);
              printf ("Nazione: %s\n", naz);
              printf ("Moto: %s\n", moto);
              printf ("Media Kmh: %d\n\n", kmh);
        }
    }

    fclose(fp);

    return 0;
}

and there’s my txt file:

20  0   22  Ivan SILVA   SPA    BQR 158.2

When I run my program, it return me an infinite loop of the first one. Why?
Is there another function to read those data?

    This one works (borrowed from @Mahmoud Al-Qudsi; I don’t want any points for this)

    #include <stdio.h>
#define SIZE 20

int main (int argc, char **argv)
{
    int pos, punt, num;
    float kmh;
    char nome[SIZE+1], cognome[SIZE+1], moto[SIZE+1];
    char naz[SIZE+1];

    FILE *fp;

    fp = fopen (argv[1], "r");

    if (!fp ) { printf ("Errore nell' apertura del file %s\n", argv[1]); return 0; }

        while (fscanf (fp, "%d %d %d %s %s %s %s %f\n",
                &pos, &punt, &num, nome, cognome, naz, moto, &kmh) == 8 ) {

              printf ("Posizione di arrivo: %d\n", pos);
              printf ("Punteggio: %d\n", punt);
              printf ("Numero pilota: %d\n", num);
              printf ("Nome pilota: %s\n", nome);
              printf ("Cognome pilota: %s\n", cognome);
              printf ("Nazione: %s\n", naz);
              printf ("Moto: %s\n", moto);
              printf ("Media Kmh: %f\n\n", kmh);
        }

    fclose(fp);

    return 0;
}
