Working with files in C

[easg]

I need to create a program that stores information in a file, then recover the inf to print it, make a search and delete x registry,

I created the program to make the file

# include
# include
# include

struct {

int codigo;
char marca [30];
char modelo [20];
int year; }vehiculo;


void main ()
{

FILE *car;

car = fopen("A:\\carros.dat","w");
fclose (car);
printf ("archivo carros creados");

getchar();
}

and this one to open the file to write

#include
#include
#include

struct {
int codigo;
char marca [30];
char modelo [20];
int year; } vehiculos;

void main()
{
printf ("\n ingrese el codigo un entero: ");
scanf ("%d",&vehiculos.codigo);
printf ("\n ingrese la marca: ");
gets (vehiculos.marca);
printf ("\n ingrese el modelo: ");
gets (vehiculos.modelo);
printf ("\n ingrese el year: ");
scanf ("%d",&vehiculos.year);
clrscr ();

FILE *car;
car = fopen ("a:\\carros.dat","w");
fwrite (&carros,sizeof(carros),1,car);
fclose (car);

printf ("\n Datos ingresados);

}

but the second one stops at the FILE *car; line

anybody has suggestions, is there a site that explans how to accomplish this?
note that I made a google search and find a manual in which is based the prog.

the libraries included are stdio.h conio.h and string.h

the program stops because of "scanf()" function does not read the end of line! To make it go, you have to have a line like so:

--------------------
put a line:
getchar();
after the "scanf()"
-------------------
or
------------------
char chx;
while((chx=getch()) !='\n') {}
--------------------------------
or
while ((chx = getchar()) != '\n' && ch != EOF);
-----------------------
