Retaining and writing String values

Question

C program

I am trying to get user input strings

store them and then write them to a text file

I first prompt user for input the user enters 1 to input information.

user input are as follows

q1,q2,q3

q1

q3

q1,0,q2

y to save to file

type file name

program saves file.

However the inputs doesn't seem to be retained when trying to print or write later on in the program.

int main() {
FILE * fpointer;
int createOrLoad;

char save;
printf("1 - Enter DFA 2 - Read DFA\n");
scanf("%d", &createOrLoad);
getchar();
