sob.. until now my program wont run...

[lesrhac03]

This is my program before, but my teacher ask me to recode the program.. its required to use fgetc(); for character input, but i think its wrong... and I have ong error, its so confusing.. HELP ME!!

I wish someone will help me again..

#include<stdio.h>
void main(void)
{
FILE *inputf;
char filename[40];
int c;

printf("Input name of the text file");
fgetc(filename,10,stdin);
if (inputf = fopen(filename, "r") == NULL)
{
printf("ERROR: %s cannot be opened.\n", filename);
exit(1);
}
while ((c = fgetc(inputf)) != EOF)
fputc(c, stdout);
fclose(inputf);
}

fgets used to input strings
fgetc - used for input single character

[lesrhac03]

but how it will accept single character?? i dont get the idea of my teacher, maybe she want some alternative code for scanf?? and she choose to use fgetc(); but i dont know how to apply it on their.

It will never accept a single character--it wasn't designed for it.
What you need to do is use fgets if you want to pass an array. And the size shouldn't be "10", it should be sizeof(filename).
If you insist on using fgetc, you need to use a loop to read the input, which is much more complicated and can be avoided.

fgets() is just fgetc() in a loop.

Oh, and main returns int, not void.
