Reading input from a data file
Hello everyone! I'm new to C and its been about a year since I took C++. I have a question concerning the proper syntax for reading input from a data file. This is what I have:
Code:
while ( ( fscanf(inputptr, "%c, %s, %s, %d, %i\n", &action, name, town, &rain, &temperature ) ) != EOF
/Code
I would appreciate any assistance.
that looks good enough to me. the proper way to use code tags is [code ] to begin and [/code ] to end the block
your missing a ')' at the end of your while statment. probably a copy and paste error.
Try this instead:
And even better, when reading string data with *scanf, specify a size. For example, if name and town are arrays of size 20 then you would sayCode:while ( ( fscanf ( inputptr, " %c, %[^,], %[^,], %d, %i", &action, name, town, &rain, &temperature ) ) == 5 )
Code:" %c, %19[^,], %19[^,], %d, %i"
My best code is written with the delete key.
