I may have posted something along these lines before, but I cannot seem to find the answer to my question in any of my previous posts. I have a program from a teach yourself C book, and am having an error. The program is supposed to print a program listing with line numbers and I got it to work at one point but can't seem to do it now.
here is the code
Whenever I try to compile it using gcc, I get this error:Code:/* print_it.c--This program prints a listing with line numbers! */ #include <stdlib.h> #include <stdio.h> void do_heading(char *filename); stdprn = open(USB001, O_WRONLY); int line = 0, page = 0; int main( int argv, char *argc[] ) { char buffer[256]; FILE *fp; if( argv < 2 ) { fprintf(stderr, "\nProper Usage is: " ); fprintf(stderr, "\n\nprint_it filename.ext\n" ); return(1); } if (( fp = fopen( argc[1], "r" )) == NULL ) { fprintf( stderr, "Error opening file, %s!", argc[1]); return(1); } page = 0; line = 1; do_heading( argc[1]); while( fgets( buffer, 256, fp ) != NULL ) { if( line % 55 == 0 ) do_heading( argc[1] ); fprintf( stdprn, "%4d:\t%s", line++, buffer ); } fprintf( stdprn, "\f" ); fclose(fp); return 0; } void do_heading( char *filename ) { page++; if ( page > 1) fprintf( stdprn, "\f" ); fprintf( stdprn, "Page: %d, %s\n\n", page, filename ); }
printit.c:8: error: expected identifier or '(' before '&' token
As I am just starting out with C, I would greatly appreciate any help with this. Thanks a bunch.
