Thanks for the fast response Robin!
I don't think I explained what I was needed all that well, so the response you gave wasn't able to help, but is appriciated all the same!

right now the file is called USERS.REF.BAK and it has a format similar to this
mark.wallace15 Mark Wallace
jimi.johns Jimmy Franks
sand.which Sand Which

Names have been changed to protect my classmates identities! Smilie

I just want to be able to add to the bottom of the list a new username and matching name to accompany it Smilie

Thank you again for the first response as well as anything else you might be able to help with!

NAME
ares_parse_ns_reply - Parse a reply to a DNS query of type NS into a hostent SYNOPSIS
#include <ares.h> int ares_parse_ns_reply(const unsigned char *abuf, int alen, struct hostent **host); DESCRIPTION
The ares_parse_ns_reply function parses the response to a query of type NS into a struct hostent. The parameters abuf and alen give the contents of the response. The result is stored in allocated memory and a pointer to it stored into the variable pointed to by host. The nameservers are stored into the aliases field of the host structure. It is the caller's responsibility to free the resulting host struc- ture using ares_free_hostent(3) when it is no longer needed. RETURN VALUES
ares_parse_ns_reply can return any of the following values: ARES_SUCCESS The response was successfully parsed. ARES_EBADRESP The response was malformatted. ARES_ENODATA The response did not contain an answer to the query. ARES_ENOMEM Memory was exhausted. SEE ALSO
