something wrong with my fscanf?

Hi. I'm trying to place the contents of a text file with integers into an array.
But the wrong values are being output to the screen:

Code:

   FILE *fin;
   char file_name_in[20]= "test.txt";
   int int_array[1000],c;

   /* test to see if file opens */
   fin = fopen(file_name_in, "r");
   if (fin == NULL){
      (void)fprintf(stderr,"Cannot open input file %s\n",file_name_in);
   }

   int i=0;
   while((getc(fin))!=EOF){
      fscanf(fin, "%d",&c);
      int_array[i]= c;
      i++;
   }
   for (i=0;i<=7;i++){
      printf("%d",int_array[1]);
   }

any ideas?

Code:

 while((getc(fin))!=EOF)

This will get one character from your file. Do you have an extra character in you file that you want to dispose of? You probably want something like:

Code:

 while((fscanf(fin, "%d",&c)  )!=EOF)

Jim

while ( i < 1000 && fscanf(fin, "%d",&c) == 1 )
would be an improvement.

At least it won't smash the array with a large file, or lock up if the file contains junk.

Code:

   for ( i=0; i <= 7; i++ ){
      printf("%d",int_array[1]);

Look closely... what's wrong with this picture?
