    Angry the file problem

    I made a file of records.....each record consists of one integer field......now i wanna retrieve the value from the integer field......how to do that ? i used fscanf function but it doesn't work......the other fields are string value..


    while(fgets(code,6,handle)!=NULL)

    { fgets(name,22,handle);

    fgets(position,22,handle);

    fscanf("%d",&age); // this is the integer value

    printf("%s ",code);

    printf("%s ",name);

    printf("%s ",position);

    printf("%-3d\n",age);

    }

    Maybe it went on strike... try to pay more money...

    Seriously, it will do something. What happens
    when you run it ? What does it print ?

    She was so Blonde, she spent 20 minutes looking at the orange juice can because it said "Concentrate."

    When in doubt, read the FAQ.
    Then ask a smart question.
