Fscanf help ( text file handling )

Hello I'm having trouble figuring out how to get information from a .txt file. The file would be structured as follows:

    [Headline1]
    variable1
    variable2
    variable3

    [Headline2]
    variable4
    variable5

What I need to be able to, is to create a struct with fields names as the Headlines, and each field must contain the associated variables.

I'm currently trying with fscanf.

Hi,

I would use fgetl to read a full line. Than I would check if [ ] exists in that line, e.g. with strfind. If so, remove the [ ] and create a new struct field with this name, e.g. use the eval command.

If the line doesn't include [ ] than you have to assign this variable to the field.

I would suggest using dynamic field names rather than eval.
