Well although you could do everything that's stated above I prefer a simpler approach.

typedef struct GAME_SAVE {
int playerscore;
int bulletholes
int level
} G_SAVE *GAMESAVE

now just create a binary file using fprintf and save this structure to it.

FILE *fp
gamesave GAMESAVE;

fp=fopen("filename","wb");
fprintf(fp,gamesave);
fclose(fp);

now your games saved.... to load the save game info back into memory just create a nother game save structure

typedef struct GAME_SAVE_DATA {
int playerscore;
int bulletholes
int level
} G_SAVED *GAMESAVEDATA

and open the saved file

FILE *fp
gamesavedata GAMESAVEDATA;

fp=fopen("filename","rb");
fscanf(fp,gamesave);
gamesavedata=gamesave;
fclose(fp);

now you can access your saved game data by doing

gamesavedata.playerscore
gamesavedata.bulletholes
gamesavedata.level

Yep, that fixed it. The problem was the fgets line. Thanks everybody. Thanks for the idea evaclear it looks a lot easier so I think i might try that out.

I have one more question to do with files so I might as well put it under this topic. Are there any functions that you can use to write to files one line at a time?

I found this one called LinePrint and i don't have any idea on how to use it. I really appreciate all the help.
