character input using fgetc() code???

heres my program and I wonder if I can use fgetc() as alternative for scanf() to read an input character...

Code:

#include<stdio.h>
void main(void)
{
FILE *inputf;
char filename[40];
int c;

printf("Input name of the text file");
fgetc(filename);

if (inputf = fopen(filename, "r") == NULL)
{
printf("ERROR: %s cannot be opened.\n", filename);
exit(1);
}
while ((c = fgetc(inputf)) != EOF)
fputc(c, stdout);
fclose(inputf);
}

I think the way I used fgetc() their is technically wrong.. so anyone correct me please...??

THANKS!!

fgetc() takes a FILE* as an argument and returns an int (the character), so fgetc(filename) is definitely wrong. Perhaps you want to use fgets() instead?

yes its a requirements to use fgetc() for character input.. but I dont know how to put it correctly on the program..
thanks for reply..

For this part of the program you are reading the filename, so use fgets(). For the part where you are reading from the file use fgetc().

If you insist on using fgetc() to read the filename, then you need a while loop to iterate over the filename and insert with fgetc(stdin).
