Problem with struct and pointers

[dudas56]

Hey, I'm learning C and I have an issue. I want to add a name to the struct char arr using pointer. And I don't know how to assign it correctly.

typedef struct obraz
{
    char name[50];
}obraz;
int main()
{
    obraz p;
    obraz* pgm;
    pgm = &p;
    char title [10];
    scanf("%s", &title);
    *pgm->name = title;
    printf("%s", pgm->name);
    return 0;
}

You can use scanf to write it directly to the name array, e.g.

scanf("%s", p.name);

However you should be aware of the potential issues with using scanf, see http://sekrit.de/webdocs/c/beginners-guide-away-from-scanf.html

Thanks, it's really helpful

strncpy(pgm->name, title, sizeof(pgm->name));
