printing from my record buffer

[kendals]

Hi i have my program that has a record buffer which holds 5 records. I want to print the content of that buffer or be able to print the whole file. how do you make it print this?

thanks

ask user to pick to view the whole file, or just the buffer
if answer == buffer
    read buffer full
    display buffer
else
    while not end of file
        read buffer full from file
        display buffer

Hi,

My question was about printing it to a computer printer, can this be done? print what ever is in the record buffer to a computer printer and have an option to printing the whole data file to a printer.

thanks

Yes. Instead of writing to the screen, you write to a printer. Printers are treated like files. Your C book should tell you how to open files.
