Thread: Printing out contents of a file to the screen

I posted it before but are buff and bufsiz standard variable names, do they have to be used and are they only used to show the size of the file?

No it does not need to be used.. you can use...

buf[80]

for example

Code:

int main()
{
  char buf[80];
   printf(" type in a string\n");
   fgets(buf,80,stdin);
   printf(" your string is %s ",buf);
   return 0;
}

Note that you need to use the "string.h"

>>Note that you need to use the "string.h"
For what? The only header needed for your short example code is stdio.h.

ahh yes you are right... hmm i always used string.h for that.. errr ohh well.. thanx for the info
