reading multiple variable types from single line in file C

Question

Alright I\'ve been at this all day and can\'t for the life of me get this down, maybe you chaps can help. I have a file that reads as follows

1301,1055150

With the fscanf format string "%d,%d,\"%[^\"]\",\"%[^\"]\",%[^,],%d,=\"%[^\"]\"" we can read a whole line's data. Besides, you have to define

char lastname[MAX_NAME+1];
char firstname[MAX_NAME+1];
char subjectname[MAX_SUBSEC+1];
int catalog;
char section[MAX_SUBSEC+1];

— the +1 to account for the terminating '\0' character.
