Hum.........
you have forgot to add something
{
.....
char buffer[BUFSIZ] = {127};
FILE *pFile;
char *p;
clrscr();
window(10,10,70,20);

pFile = fopen ("c:\\myfile.txt","wt");
if (pFile!=NULL)
{
cprintf("Enter a string \r\n");
p = cgets(buffer);
fputs(p,pFile);
}
fclose(pFile);
return 0;
}

No, actually you don't have to specify a path. If you don't, it assumes you mean the directory where the program iteself is running from.

Quzah.

yaa, the whole program goes like this.. so this code will make a file in the O drive.

but still can anybody explain me the whole code.. specially the sequence in which file is made and the parameters specified..

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
int main ()
{
  char p[BUFSIZ] = {127};
  FILE *pFile;
  pFile = fopen ("o:\\myfile.txt","wt");

  if (pFile!=NULL)
  {
    printf("Enter your text :");
    gets(p);
    fputs (p,pFile);
    fclose (pFile);
  }
 return 0;
}

First up:
>>char p[BUFSIZ] = {127};
In your program, there's no need for the 127. This will get overwritten by the gets() function. Which leads me nicely into the point at which I tell you not to use gets(), lookup fgets() instead.

>>pFile = fopen ("o:\\myfile.txt","wt");
Here the file is opened for writing in text mode (wt), but the 't' attribute is non standard, and there compiler dependant.


A summary of the programs function is:
- Open a file
- If the File Open worked:
- - Read a line of data from the keyboard
- - Write that line to the file
- - Close the file

Does this help?
