input output from Binary file !! 1

[zavrisky]

I have a text based database and it looks like this :
269,N,1,1,That's a good news
269,N,1,2,that you are going on and on
273,A,14,16,Sadek,NOTHIONG
278,T,Call Fardous and invite

Each of the lines indicate a day's activitity and speparated by the delemeter , (comma). My program reads this database as well writes on the screen and in files. Now, I want to convert the text based data file into Binary file. I want to use fread and fwrite and sperate each lines and each fields according to the delemeter. Can anyone tell me how to do that?

char routine[4][40]= {
"269,N,1,1,That's a good news",
"269,N,1,2,that you are going on and on",
"273,A,14,16,Sadek,NOTHIONG",
"278,T,Call Fardous and invite" };
char temp[40];
FILE *fp;

/*open file to write binary*/
fp = fopen(filename, "wb"
/*write to file*/
for(i = 0; i < 4; i++)
{
fwrite(routine, sizeof (routine),1, fp);
}
fclose(fp);
/*open file for reading*/
fp = fopen(filename, &quot;rb&quot;
/*read and print to screen file*/
for(i = 0; i < 4; i++)
{
fread(temp, sizeof (temp),1, fp);
printf(temp);
}
fclose(fp);
or you could use structures......... Hoping to get certified..in C programming.
