vpBirthdays.dat

Yawn.

Let me invite each of you to make a file of birthdays of more interesting
figures, such as:

 Famous Authors (Stephen King, J.K. Rowling, Tom Clancy, etc.)
 Hollywood Actors/Actresses (Julia Roberts, Brendan Fraser, etc.)
 Recording Artists (Dave Matthews, R. Kelly, Ashlee Simpson, Kurt Cobain, etc.)
 Cartoonists (Matt Groening, Matt Stone, etc.)
 NBA players past and present (Julius Irving, Allen Iverson, Michael Jordan)
etc...

Use the same format, post your files on the web under 

http://copland.udel.edu/~userid/cisc105/birthdays

e.g.

http://copland.udel.edu/~userid/cisc105/birthdays/movieStars.

and we can use THOSE files for our example programs.

In the meantime, we'll do VPs.

(4) What can we do with the vpBirthdays data file?

First, how to read those files into parallel arrays?

Topics...

 strtok....

 four parallel arrays?

 an array of structs...
