I Know this is a really simple problem. But i can''t seam to be able to load some IP adresses from a file. How would i use fscanf to load an ip address into a string. I think you can use a byte data type to store each individual number after the dot''s but this dosen''t seam to work :-(. I know it''s abit abstract but any help will do. Thanks Alot :-) ~Steve~

//255.255.255.255

char address[15];
FILE *instream;

instream= fopen("whatever.something","r");

fgets(address,15,instream);


This will read the entire line in and store it as address.
Hope this helps...
