i have a question about file input/output. before reading the file do i have to have a file call test.txt in c drive. because i have a file but it wont compile for some reason
Code:#include<stdio.h> int main() { FILE *fp; fp=fopen("c:\\test.txt","r"); fclose(fp); return 0; }
Whether the file exists or not will not affect compilation. The code you posted should compile, so I don't know what is causing your problem.
Post your compile error. Note that you should always post your compile error when you make these types of threads.
bit∙hub [bit-huhb] n. A source and destination for information.
Your code compiles well. I cant see any issue. What is it that you are trying to do?
It compiles fine, but causes exception if the file doesn't exist. Maybe you have a 'verbose' switch on a compiler or something. Remember, it's a *VERY* bad practice not to do error checking, even in smt as simple as this. Try adding check for NULL pointer on fp.
