scan a splitted line of characters in C

Question

I have been struggling scanning the following line of textfile into a char matrix : O A B C D E T

What i tried was this :

fscanf(ifs, "%c %c %c %c %c %c %c",
graphe->name[0][0], graphe->name[1][0], graphe->name[2][0], 
graphe->name[3][0], graphe->name[4][0], graphe->name[5][0],
graphe->name[6][0]
);

For information: ifs is the file pointer, and the .txt file is opening well. I'm precising that name is a char** because i might replace the letters with words someday. Thus, the string length might need to be increased.

Name is a char** being allocated as:

graphe->name = (char**) malloc(sizeof(char*)*graphe->ordre);
for(int i=0;i<graphe->ordre;i++){
    graphe->name[i] = (char*)malloc(sizeof(char));
}

For some reason, this is not working, am I doing anything wrong? Are there better practices in order to accomplish the same task ?

Answer 1

Disregarding optimisations and recommandation given, I found out putting a space before the first %c solved the thing : fscanf(ifs, " %c %c %c %c %c %c %c",xxx)
