    Cross Stitching Simulation Problem

    Hi people, I was wondering if anyone can kindly advise me on how to go about approaching the following problem : http://www.comp.nus.edu.sg/~cs1101cl/lab4/oddweek/ .

    A few tips to help me get started would be nice :
    -How do I read in values from an external data file such that I terminate when I first come across a '6'? The problem arises as I cannot blindly read in values without giving due consideration to the number of values in a given line(which is not consistent to begin with) until I come across the first '6'.

    What are your specific questions ? What are you particularly having trouble with ? I don't want to have to read the entire assignment...

    The loop in which you switch the canvas.read every line with fgets and check the first character of buffer with '6',if it is then put a break;.
