Parsing Text File and gathering input variables

azamsharp1 · 10-25-2005, 10:08 PM

Hi,

I have a text file which contains some text. Now I want to get the some variables out of the TextFiles.

The format of the file is something like this:

MyVariables

a,b,c,d

.....
....
...
end

So now I want to parse the text file and get a,b,c,d into a array or a queue or stack (some sort of collection).

At this point I am able to read the file using the following code:

Code:

int main() {
    

	FILE *fp;
    char name[25];
    char buff[BUFSIZ];
    float num;

	char ch; 
    
    if((fp=fopen("AboutMe.txt","r"))==NULL)  
    {
        perror("File cannot be opened");
        getchar();
     }
    

	while((ch = fgetc(fp)) != EOF)
	 {	
		if(ch == 13) 
			printf("Line break has been found"); 
				
		
		printf("%c",ch); 		 	
	 }
  
    getchar();
    return 0;

Thanks,

read it line by line with sscanf and store it in a array
