C Turning lines of an archive into arrays

Question

I have an archive and I want to turn every line into an array: v[i].data. However, when I run the code it shows zeros for the arrays. Is there anything I should change?

Input

1760
02/20/18,11403.7
02/19/18,11225.3
02/18/18,10551.8
02/17/18,11112.7
02/16/18,10233.9

Actual Output

1761
0

Expected Output

1761
02/20/18,11403.7

There were a number of mistakes so I went ahead and rewrote the problem areas with comments explaining what I did

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

typedef struct{
    char data[20];

}vetor;

int main(int argc,char *argv[]){
    FILE *csv;

    if((csv=fopen(argv[1], "r")) == NULL  )
    {
        printf("not found csv\n");
        exit(1);
    }

    char line[20];

    // Read number of lines
    int num_lines = 0;
    if (!fgets(line, sizeof(line), csv)) {
        printf("Cannot read line\n");
        exit(1);    
    }
    char* token = strtok(line, "\n");
    num_lines = atoi(token) + 1;
    vetor* v = malloc(num_lines * sizeof(vetor));

    // Fill in vetor
    int i = 0;
    while (fgets(line, sizeof(line), csv) != NULL) {
        int len = strlen(line);
        line[len-1] = '\0'; // replace newline with string terminator
        strcpy(v[i].data, line); //copy line into v[i].data
        i++;
    }

    printf("%d\n", num_lines);
    for (i = 0; i < num_lines; i++) {
            printf("%s\n", v[i].data);
    }

    return 0;
}

I think the main mistake was a misunderstanding of how best to read in each line of information. If I understood correctly you want each 02/20/18,11403.7 line to be an element in the vetor array.

The easiest way is to simply get each line one at a time with fgets

while (fgets(line, sizeof(line), csv) != NULL) 

Change the ending character from newline to the string terminating character '\0'

int len = strlen(line);
line[len-1] = '\0';

Then copy the string into the ith element of vetor and update i for the next iteration of the loop.

strcpy(v[i].data, line);
i++;
