2 things to say:

1. It looks nicer when you use one format string
2. You should use a loop

Here's some code:

int a,b,c;
char str[256];
while(fscanf(fd, "%d %d %d %s ", &a, &b, &c, &str[0]) == 4){
    //get some coffee
}

this is a standard while not End of File loop. Also, str doesn't need & because it already is a pointer and doesn't need to be referenced like a, b or c. The space at the end of the format string, after %s, means it will stop once that one space is read. This way it is not included in the string str.
