thanks for the reply.. i was actually able to make the add and display options for the array of structure.. but on the search option, after being able to input a name that am searching for, it simply goes back to the main menu.. here's wt i did..

void displaykind(str uct TimberRec TimberArray[])
{
clrscr();
int Found=0;
char Target[30];
int x;

if((TimberArray[x].Kind)==NULL)
printf("Record Empty!");
else
{
printf("Enter kind of timber to display");
fflush(stdin);
scanf("%c", Target);
while(!feof&&Fo und==0)
{
scanf("%c %c%[^/]%*c %d %d %d %*c",&TimberArr ay[x].TimberID.Zone, &TimberArray[x].TimberID.ID,Ti mberArray[x].Kind, &TimberArray[x].Diameter, TimberArray[x].Weight, TimberArray[x].Height);

if(strcmp(Targe t, TimberArray[x].Kind)==0)
Found = 1;

}
if(Found)
{
gotoxy(8,6);pri ntf("Zone: %c", TimberArray[x].TimberID.Zone) ;

}
}
}

i just tried to test it with the zone part, but then nothing happens.. did i do something wrong?

TimberArray[x].Kind

hi! am i supposed to use %s first? on which part should i put that? am so confused right now...

[gpraghuram]

HI,
Change the following line

scanf("%c %c%[^/]%*c %d %d %d %*c",&TimberArray[x].TimberID.Zone,&TimberArray[x].TimberID.ID,TimberArray[x].Kind, &TimberArray[x].Diameter, TimberArray[x].Weight, TimberArray[x].Height);

to

scanf("%c %c %s %d %d %d ",&TimberArray[x].TimberID.Zone,&TimberArray[x].TimberID.ID,TimberArray[x].Kind, &TimberArray[x].Diameter, TimberArray[x].Weight, TimberArray[x].Height);

I have removed the specifier %*c.

Thanks
Raghuram
