Thread: if else statements

CODE:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <ctype.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#define fname "a.f"

main()
{
FILE *fp;
int x,len=0;
char str[100],file[20];

printf("Enter file name: ");
gets(file);

if (file == fname)
{
fp=fopen(fname,"w");
printf("file opened!\n\n");
printf("\nEnter the sentence to count:\n");
scanf("%s",&str);
len=strlen(str);
printf("lenght: %d",len);
for (x=0;x<=len;x++)
{
fputc(str[x], fp);
}
fclose(fp);
printf("\nString Entered: %s",str);

printf("File Was Successfully Created!");

}
else
{
printf("Invalid filename!");
}

getchar();
getchar();

}

ok , so i want the user to input the filename and if he/she enters it "a.f" it will create the file else it will exit program.

my problem is that it doesnt see if statement but runs else statement when i enter filename.

wat am i doing wrong!

is it
strcmp (fname, "a.f");

???

so basically u said:
if (strcmp(gets, fname) == 0)
{
//here my code
}
else
{
//code
}


if yes it doesnt work, it says illegal conversion

try defining fname without #define. maybe something like this...

>const char fname[5] = "a.f";

You maybe getting the error because it doesn't realize that fname is the char[] type.

it works both ways.
it was my bad
i did
if (strcmp(gets, fname) == 0)
gets << lol instead of >> file
