so i was wondering, for this function how would you be able to read a certain line from a text file that has multiple lines because from what i read about its definition it does not seem to be possible.
text file looks like this:
(
monkeys
dogs
cats
birds
)
and i want the function to read only cats. can i get some help thanks.
read lines till you get to the required line using loop

here is what i have
[/PHP]Code:main() { FILE *inp; inp= fopen("clues.txt", "r"); int row, i; char clue[46]; row = Rand_NUM(0,45);//Rand_NUM is used to generate a random number for (i=0; i<=row;++i); { char *fgets(char *clue, int 30, FILE *inp);//problem with this line } return(clue); printf("%s", clue);
i keep getting an error with the fgets and it prints some kind of alien language that looks nothing like english. whats worng?
This line
looks like some kind of alien language that looks nothing like C.Code:char *fgets(char *clue, int 30, FILE *inp);//problem with this line
http://faq.cprogramming.com/cgi-bin/...&id=1043284385 shows how you might use fgets.
7. It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.

Code:fgets(buf, sizeof(buf), stdin)
what does stdin stand for this came from the example
main() - should be
int main(void) - read FAQ: main() / void main() / int main() / int main(void) / int main(int argc, char *argv[])
