Reading the First Character of the Last Line

Hi, all

I have a question regarding reading files

Once I get the code to open the file how can I get it to scan right to the first character of the last line of the .txt file?

thanx

The only portable way is to read the file until you get to the last line:

Code:

---

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

int main ( void )
{
  char buf[BUFSIZ];
  FILE *in = fopen ( "test.txt", "r" );

  if ( in == NULL )
    return EXIT_FAILURE;
  while ( fgets ( buf, sizeof buf, in ) != NULL )
    ;
  printf ( "The last line is \"%s\"\n", buf );
  printf ( "The first character of the last line is '%c'\n", buf[0] );

  return 0;
}
