fgetc

I am using fgetc to read a file and then take and input a space after each character read. That part works fine, but I want to get the \n to input into my array. For some reason it doesn't get it. Does fgetc read a \n

Code:

while((c=fgetc(ffile))!=EOF){
                if(c=='\n'){ /*this doesn't work*/
                        buffer[0]='\n';
                }
                else{
                        buffer[0]=c;
                        buffer[1]=' ';
                        buffer[2]='\0';
                }

btw buffer is declared as char buffer[3]; thanx

Code:

/* The test file...
This is a test.
This is a test of the Emergency C Board System.
This is only a test.

First and last comment line are not in the file.*/

#include <stdio.h>

int main( void )
{
        FILE *fp = fopen( "testo.txt", "r" );
        int c;

        if( fp == NULL )
        {
                printf("Error opening file.\n");
                exit( 0 );
        }
        while( (c = fgetc( fp )) != EOF )
        {
                if( c == '\n' )
                {
                        printf("Works for me.\n");
                }
        }
        fclose( fp );
        return 0;

}

/*The output...
Works for me.
Works for me.
Works for me.
Works for me.
...Four lines, because there are three lines plus one blank line in the test file. */

Like it says, it works for me. Put a printf statement in the middle of your assignment loop to see if it is in fact reading the newline.

Quzah.

it works just something wrong with somewhere else in my code. I'll figure it thanx

the code you have sent its ok.

Code:

while((c=fgetc(fp))!=EOF){
			if(c=='\n'){ /*this doesn't work*/
				buffer[0]='\n';
				
			}
			else{
				buffer[0]=c;
				buffer[1]=' ';
				buffer[2]='\0';
			}
	}

i see the problem when ovewrite the [0] position in your buffer.

if you put a printf with integer, you will se the value 10 (correponding ascii value. Take a look at www.asciitable.com .

Code:

if(c=='\n'){ /*this doesn't work*/
				buffer[0]='\n';
				printf("\nCaracter = %d\n",buffer[0]);				
			}
