Array problem

[carter]

Please help? I need to read house details from a file , store them in an array and then print the list of houses. I think what I have below is correct but how do I add a new house?
Help here would be much appreciated. Thanks.


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

int main(void)
{
FILE *fp;
char filename[15];
int ch;


printf("\nEnter filename ?\n");
gets(filename);

if((fp=fopen(filename,"r"))==NULL)
{
printf("\nUnable to open'%s':%s",filename);
return 1;
}

while((ch=getc(fp))!=EOF)
putchar(ch);
fclose(fp);
return 0;

}

Two main things:
Please use fgets

while((ch=getc(fp))!=EOF)

You should use fgetc(fp) to get a character from a file. This function is also mentioned in the link I proposed.

>>You should use fgetc(fp) to get a character from a file

The getc function is equivalent to fgetc, except that if it is implemented as a macro, it may evaluate stream more than once, so the argument should never be an expression with side effects.

carter, read this

>>gets(filename);
Avoid this function, see this which you can easily adapt to be used for files as well as keyboard input.

>>store them in an array
There's no array in your code for this?
