Error: Assignment makes pointer from Integer without a cast... in C Prog -

i error whenever run program " assignment makes pointer integer without cast". code written below.... please help... thankx

struct student {        char studentid[6];        char name[31];        char course [6]; }; struct student *array[max]; struct student dummy; int recordctr=0;  int read(){      file *stream = null;      int ctr;      char linebuffer[45];      char delims[]=", ";      char *number[3];      char *token = null;       stream = fopen("student.txt", "rt");       if (stream == null) stream = fopen("student.txt", "wt");      else {           printf("\nreading student list directory. wait moment please...");           while(!feof(stream)){                 array[recordctr]=(struct student*)malloc(sizeof(struct student));                  while(!feof(stream)) {                      fgets(linebuffer, 46, stream);                      token = strtok(linebuffer, delims); //this error appears                      ctr=0;                      while(token != null){                           strcpy(number[ctr], linebuffer);                           token = strtok(null, delims);  //this error appears                           ctr++;                      }                      strcpy(array[recordctr] -> studentid,number[0]);                      strcpy(array[recordctr] -> name,number[1]);                        strcpy(array[recordctr] -> course,number[2]);                                      }                                recordctr++;           }      recordctr--;      fclose(stream);      } 

you haven't (at least, not in pasted code) #included header defines strtok function. in c, functions haven't been prototyped yet assumed return int. thus, we're assigning int (function result) char* (the type of token) without cast.

we don't want cast, of course. want #include header, compiler understands strtok returns.

but don't want use strtok if there's else job. has numerous limitations aren't obvious. robust string parsing, try sscanf.
