I'm getting a bunch of pointer errors and pointers are not exactly my strongest point. Most of my errors have to do with passing an argument.
The errors are:
HW5_mkhan44.c: In function ‘main’: HW5_mkhan44.c:31:3: warning: passing argument 1 of ‘search_and_count’ from incompatible pointer type [enabled by default]
HW5_mkhan44.c:11:6: note: expected ‘struct FILE *’ but argument is of type ‘struct FILE **’

HW5_mkhan44.c:11:6: note: expected ‘const char *’ but argument is of type ‘char * (*)[100]’

This is the code:

printf("File does not exist\n");
else{
printf("Please enter a word to search: ");
scanf("%s", word);
search_and_count(&fileptr, &word, &length, &num);
