I'm trying to type out whatever is in the .txt document, but I cannot open it for some reason. My code is
Code:int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { char ch=0;FILE *fp;fp=fopen("C:\Users\PC\Desktop\New folder\Question 5\one.txt",'r');while(ch!=EOF){ printf ("%c", ch); ch=getc(fp); Sleep (200);}fclose(fp);return 0; }
I keep getting an error with my fp=fopen so how do you open the text? Do i have anything else wrong with my code
Sorry I don't know how to make the code look neat.

Try replacing the r in your fopen tonotice the double quotes and not single quotes...Code:"r"
The backslash character ( \ ) serves as escape character in string literals.
If you want a literal backslash you have to double it
e.g.
KurtCode:fp=fopen("C:\\Users\\PC\\Desktop\\New folder\\Question 5\\one.txt",'r');
Also, I never put the full path of the file, I usually do it such as
Code:FILE* ifp = fopen("one.txt", "r");
So i fixed the
but i still get an error. Nothing is highlighted red anymore. It just says [Error] Id returned 1 exit statusCode:fp=fopen("C:\\Users\\PC\\Desktop\\New folder\\Question 5\\one.txt","r");
Please post the entire error message list. These messages have important information to aid in locating and fixing the problem.

Here are the errors
It looks like somewhere you are calling a function named sleep(), the linker can't find any function implementation by this name. That first line is the most important line of your messages.

i wonder what is that for ?Code:Sleep (200);
Wow can't believe the problem was as simple as that.
the code was suppose to make the text be type onto the screen instead of just showing what the text filed had inside.Code:sleep (200);
