How to read from a file into an array or pointer

[Rataplar]

Hi,

I have a file on my system which I want to read and store into a pointer variable *int.

This is my code:

FILE * f = fopen ("C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Ralfie.MEIRSMAN-232FF2\Desktop\http-get\msvc2008\Debug\Ebay","rb");
int * file = 0;
int * file_begin = file;
while ((*file = getchar()) != EOF){
file++;
}
printf ("Content of file Ebay : %s", file_begin);


int * file is the pointer variable where the content of the file should be stored in.
int * file_begin points to the beginning of the string.

The code compiles well but when executing the code I'm getting in a sort of endless loop. The printf command is never reached.

Can somebody come up with a solution for this trivial problem?

Thanks already.

Ralf.

1) You have a pointer variable, but it doesn't point anywhere. If you want to write through the pointer, you should make it point somewhere.

2) Were you planning to read from your file at some point?

Is this supposed to be C++? ...Or C?
