Thread: New to C programming, what am i doing wrong?

Im trying to make a basic open text file, read, write to text file program. However im new to c and the program simply crashes when i run it. When i debug it crashes on the fwritef command

Code:

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
        FILE *file = fopen( "test.txt", "r" );
        FILE *fp = fopen( "out.txt", "w");

        if ( file == 0 )
        {
            printf( "Could not open file\n" );
        }
        else
        {
            char x;
            while  ( ( x = fgetc( file ) ) != EOF )
            {

            fwritef(fp, x);
            }
            fclose( fp );
        }
        fclose( file );
}

i would appreciate if someone could point out what im doing wrong

2. fgetc() returns an int, not char. Using the latter can cause EOF issues.

sorry thats suppose to be fprintf, like i said im new and was screwing around to see if there was something called fwritef instead of fprintf

Nevermind, i fixed it. But thanks for your help anyways
