Structure Linked Lists: Searching for Words.

[chucker]

So a user inputs an artist name, and then if the input matches one of the nodes containing the artist names i need to return that. but then also if the input does not match any of the nodes, I need to insert a new one. I have some lame attempt below, any guidance to fix it up would be fantastic. This is to be written in C

Also my structure that this function goes off of is shown below as well.

 
artistNodePtr findOrInsertArtist( artistNodePtr *sPtr, char *artistID ) {

artistNodePtr newNodePtr;
temp = sPtr

if(temp->artistName_p == artistID){
  return temp 
}else{
  newNodePtr = (artistNodePtr) malloc(sizeof(sPtr)

}
}

struct artist {
  char *artistName_p;
  struct disc *disc_p;
  struct artist *nextArtist_p;
};

typedef struct artist artist_t;
typedef struct artist *artistNodePtr;
