I wrote this simple program in C, because I'm studying FILES right now at University. I take a txt file with a list of the results of the last race so my program will show the data formatted as I want. Here's my code:

/* Esercizio file Motogp */
#include <stdio.h>
#define SIZE 20

int main ()
{
    int pos, punt, num;
    float kmh;
    char nome[SIZE+1], cognome[SIZE+1], moto[SIZE+1];
    char naz[SIZE+1], nome_file[SIZE+1];

    FILE *fp;

    printf ("Inserisci il nome del file da aprire: ");
    gets (nome_file);

    fp = fopen (nome_file, "r");

    if (fopen == NULL)
        printf ("Errore nell' apertura del file %s\n", nome_file);
    else {

        while (fscanf (fp, "%d %d %d %s %s %s %s %.2f",
                &pos, &punt, &num, nome, cognome, naz, moto, &kmh) != EOF ) {

              printf ("Posizione di arrivo: %d\n", pos);
              printf ("Punteggio: %d\n", punt);
              printf ("Numero pilota: %d\n", num);
              printf ("Nome pilota: %s\n", nome);
              printf ("Cognome pilota: %s\n", cognome);
              printf ("Nazione: %s\n", naz);
              printf ("Moto: %s\n", moto);
              printf ("Media Kmh: %d\n\n", kmh);
        }
    }

    fclose(fp);

    return 0;


}

and there's my txt file:

1   25  99  Jorge LORENZO    SPA    Yamaha  164.4   
2   20  26  Dani PEDROSA     SPA    Honda   164.1   
3   16  4   Andrea DOVIZIOSO ITA    Yamaha  163.8   
4   13  1   Casey STONER     AUS    Honda   163.8   
5   11  35  Cal CRUTCHLOW    GBR    Yamaha  163.6   
6   10  19  Alvaro BAUTISTA  SPA    Honda   163.5   
7   9   46  Valentino ROSSI  ITA    Ducati  163.3   
8   8   6   Stefan BRADL     GER    Honda   162.9   
9   7   69  Nicky HAYDEN     USA    Ducati  162.5   
10  6   11  Ben SPIES    USA    Yamaha  162.3   
11  5   8   Hector BARBERA   SPA    Ducati  162.1   
12  4   17  Karel ABRAHAM    CZE    Ducati  160.9   
13  3   41  Aleix ESPARGARO  SPA    ART 160.2   
14  2   51  Michele PIRRO    ITA    FTR 160.1   
15  1   14  Randy DE PUNIET  FRA    ART 160.0   
16  0   77  James ELLISON    GBR    ART 159.9   
17  0   54  Mattia PASINI    ITA    ART 159.4   
18  0   68  Yonny HERNANDEZ  COL    BQR 159.4   
19  0   9   Danilo PETRUCCI  ITA    Ioda    158.2   
20  0   22  Ivan SILVA   SPA    BQR 158.2

When I run my program, it return me an infinite loop of the first one. Why? Is there another function to read those data?
