Thread: File to array?

Look at the function HandleEncrypt()... The look even closer at the while loop that is there... What am i doing wrong here. I am trying to open a file then read the contents of the file to Contents[] so that i can later change the contents. Then i am printing the contents to the screen... The program compiles fine but that one line that i have remarked is causing me problems... I think im using m array worng..

Code:

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

struct Encrypt{ 
   char *Password; 
   int   RandomVal; 
}EnCryptoGraph; 

struct Decrypt{ 
   char *Password; 
   int   RandomVal; 
}DeCryptoGraph; 

int  OpenFile(char *Path, char *RW); 
int  RandomNum(void); 

void HandleMenuChoice(void); 
void HandleEncrypt(void); 
void HandleDecrypt(void); 


char *FilePath, Contents[] = "Testing"; 
FILE *fp; 

int main(void){ 

srand( (unsigned)time( NULL ) ); /****** SEEDING rand() FOR CRYPTIC CODE ******/ 

printf("***** ***** *   * ***** ******* ***** ******* ***** *     * *******\n"); 
printf("*     *   *  * *  *   *    *    *   *    *    *      *   *     *\n"); 
printf("*     ****    *   *****    *    *   *    *    ****     *       *\n"); 
printf("*     *   *   *   *        *    *   *    *    *      *   *     *\n"); 
printf("***** *   *   *   *        *    *****    *    *****  *   *     *\n"); 

/* ***********Main Menu********** */ 

printf("\n1) Encrypt\n"); 
printf("2) Decrypt\n"); 

printf("\nEnter a Number: "); 
HandleMenuChoice(); 






return 0; 
} 

void HandleMenuChoice(void){ 
   int ch; 

   while (1){ 
      ch = getchar(); 
         if(ch == 49){ 
            HandleEncrypt(); 
            break; 
         } 
         else{ 
            if (ch == 50){ 
               HandleDecrypt(); 
               break; 
            }else if(ch != '\0') break; 
         } 
         printf("\nInvalid Entry\n Please Enter a Number(1-2):");       
   } 
} 


/* *********Handle Encryption********* */ 

void HandleEncrypt(void){ 
       
      char c; 
      int cnt; 

      printf("You Pressed 1\n"); 
      printf("%d\n",RandomNum()); 

      printf("Type the Path and File Name of your .txt file:\n"); 
            scanf("%s", &FilePath); 
            printf("%s\n",&FilePath); 
             
            OpenFile("c:\\Testing.txt","r+"); 
            printf("c is %d",(c = fgetc(fp))); 
              
            while ( ( c = fgetc(fp)) != '\0' ){ 
                  Contents[cnt] = c;             /* Problem Here */ 
                  putchar(c); 
                  cnt++; 
                   
               } 
             
   } 

/* *********Handle Decryption********* */ 

void HandleDecrypt(void){ 
      printf("You Pressed 2\n"); 
      printf("%d\n",RandomNum()); 

   } 

/* ******Generate Random Number For Encryption Code****** */ 

int RandomNum(){ 

   int num; 

   num = rand()%9; 

return num; 
} 

/* ***** Open Binary File ***** */ 

int OpenFile(char *Path, char *RW){ 



      if ( (fp = fopen(Path, RW)) == NULL) 
      { 
         fprintf(stderr, "Error opening file."); 
      }else printf("File Open\n"); 
return 0; 
}

cnt is never set to zero!

thanx for all your help.... i got it to work. i failed to set a few variables so that was causing me problems...
