Subject: While problem
Lines: 18

   I'm having trouble with a whil loop in function I am writing to
read a line from a fileby puttingeach character into an array, accesed by
pionters, until the '\n' character is reached of EOF is reached.
  Trouble is, I keep getting an error message that the function needs an
Lvalue (address) inside the while loop.  Any ideas as to the problem?
The filename is a global variable, and that's why it isn't declared.

char readline(char *string[])
{
  int i=0;

  while(((*string+i++=(char)getc(fname))!=EOF)
      &&((*string+i++=(char)getc(fname))!='\n'));
  return (*string+(i-1));
}
