Can anyone check this code

[a_learner]

Question:

write a program to store every character typed at the keyboard into a file. the procedure should come to an end as soon as character ~ is hit from the keyboard.


I've coded and it is working fine but the only problem I'm facing is that I'm unable to check for the character ~ and terminate the program.



here's the coding which I've done



/*program to make the user enter the text from the keyboard and write them on to a file*/
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>

main()
{
FILE *fp;
char ch;

fp=fopen("d:\\mannu\\try2.txt","w");

if(fp==NULL)
{
puts("\nCannot open file");
exit(1);
}

printf("\nEnter the characters ");
while((ch=getc(stdin))!='\n')
{

if(ch=='~')
{
fclose(fp);
exit(1);
}
else
{
fputc(ch,fp);
}
}


fclose(fp);
}


thanx in advance......
and also I'm glad the way I'm getting the response & help from u all......and hope the same in future.

feeling myself lucky to be around such helpful persons

How about
while((ch=getc(stdin))!='~')

when you read this you'll smack yourself upside the head, and if you don't, just ask me what was wrong...

#include <stdio.h> 
#include <stdlib.h> 

int main(void) 
{ 
	FILE *fp; 
	char ch; 

	fp=fopen("c:\\try.txt","w"); 

	if(fp==NULL) 
	{ 
		puts("\nCannot open file"); 
		return 1; 
	} 

	printf("\nEnter the characters "); 
	while((ch=getc(stdin))!='~') 
		 fputc(ch,fp); 

	fclose(fp); 
	return 0; 

}

Because I don't waste so much time farting about on the general discussion board.
