    Unhappy ~ User Input script help~

    Hi all

    I am new to c programming and i need help with the following logic, what i want to do is to ask user to input details and then process the file e.g

    What I asked you to do was enabling a user to insert a line in a specific part of a text file, i.e.
    You ask user the name of the file,
    You ask user where (line number) s/he wants to insert the line
    You ask user to provide the text for this line


    You then insert this line into the specific part of the file and ask user whether s/he wants to continue or not.


    thanks in advance...indy

    Read the forum rules. Stop making multiple posts on the same topic. No one here is going to do your work for you. That's not what the forum is here for.

    We assist, we do not hand you your code on a silver platter.

    Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
