I'm having a huge issue getting simple character matrix from a file.

I have this file: maze.txt

bxbbxbbbbxbb
bbbbbbxxxbxb
bxbbbxbbbxbb
bbxbbbbxbbxb
bxxxxbxbbxbb
bxbbbbbbxbbb
bxbbxxbxbbxb
bxxbxbbxbxxb
bxbxbbxbbxbb
xbbbbbbbbxbb
bbbxxxbbbbxb
bxbxxxxbbxbb

and i just want to read it into a 2d array of chars. I have a working output function, and when i output the result of this function, it is simply garbage. Anyone see what's wrong??

Thanks,

David

struct COORD InputMaze(int *maze[][101])
{

int row;
int col;
char InputChar[1];
struct COORD Size;

FILE *instream;

instream=fopen("maze.txt","r");

/*
fscanf(instream,"%i",&Size.row);
fscanf(instream,"%i",&Size.col);
*/

for(row=1;row<=12;row++)
{
for(col=1;col<=12;col++)
{

fscanf(instream, "%c", &InputChar);

maze[row][col]=InputChar;
}

InputChar[0]=fgetc(instream);//get rif of the \0 terminator

}

fclose(instream);

OutputMaze(maze,12,12);

return Size;

}

struct COORD InputMaze(int *maze[][101]) 
{ 

int row; 
int col;

fscanf(instream, "%c", &InputChar); 
/*
InputChar is an array so the '&' before it is not necessary.
*/

maze[row][col]=InputChar;
/*
Type error. The left handside is (int *) while the right one is (char *).
I think maze should be declared:
int maze[][101];
Then you can write:
maze[row][col]=InputChar[0];
*/
} 

InputChar[0]=fgetc(instream);//get rif of the \n terminator 

} 

fclose(instream); 

OutputMaze(maze,12,12); 

return Size;
