    Problems in opening a txt file in a loop

    HI ,

    I am trying to open a txt file in C and i am successfull in doing the same , but the problem is that the contents of the file is displayed only the first time i execute the file
    the rest of the time
    a blank screen is getting displayed .

    the problem being once when the file is executed the variable ch reaches the value EOF

    how shd i point to the begining of file

    pls find below the code
    Code:
    clrscr();
    fp2=fopen("c:\\rules.txt","rb");
    while(1)
    if (ch==EOF)
    break;
     else
      {
      ch=fgetc(fp2);
      printf("%c",ch);
    }
    getch();
    fclose(fp2);
