Hi I want to know what the easiest way of reading information from a file is, all the files are formated as
line of text
[# lines of ints] [# of ints per line]
int int int int
int int int int
etc.
Here is an example file:
HS_problem_1 problem_10_10
10 10
0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0
0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 1
1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1
1 0 1 0 1 0 1 1 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0
0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0
0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0
0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0
0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0
How would i go about it?
thanks
>How would i go about it?
Something along this line.
line of text <read whole line using fgets>
[# lines of ints] [# of ints per line] <read whole line using fgets, parse rows and cols with sscanf>
<malloc rows in 2D array>
<for loop through rows>
<nested for loop through cols>
<malloc cols in 2D array>
int int int int<read data using fscanf>
int int int int...>
7. It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.
40. There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works.*
Just in case you are a newbie, and assuming you know the maximum row/column size in any of the files you're bound to read, create a 2D array that will hold the largest data and forget the malloc() part of Dave's suggestion. The rest is fine.
