Question

My question’s pretty basic, but it’s been a while. I’m reading in a text file and saving numbers in the text to a struct ‘Record’. After I read text to my Record buffer, I want to place it in an area of memory.

typedef struct
{
 int line_status[64];
 float line_data[64], relativetime;
 unsigned long blkhdr_ticks;
} Record;

Record *storage; 
storage = (Record*)malloc(nRange*sizeof(Record)); 
Record buffer;

Where nRange is some random number, and buffer is a Record with values, though I haven’t listed my code that assigns these to the buffer. I thought the syntax was something like:

&storage = buffer;

But I know that’s not right. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can also treat storage as an array.

storage[0] = buffer;
storage[1] = anotherBuffer;
...
storage[nRange-1] = lastBuffer;
