here's the code it just keeps printing num and lcv but im not sure why.
thanks in advance!Code:#include<stdio.h> #define FILETOOPEN "ints" int main() { FILE *flptr; int lcv; int num; flptr = fopen(FILETOOPEN,"r"); while(lcv != EOF) { lcv = fscanf(flptr,"%d",&num); printf("\n %d\n",num); printf("\n%d\n",lcv); } }
If your program cannot read a number, but is not at end-of-file (for instance, if your file has a letter in it somewhere, or some other non-numeric character), then you're just sunk. If you want to check for success, then check for success (whether lcv is 1).
Because at some point fscanf() is returning 0 and not advancing the file pointer. Try something like this:
Code:while(lcv != EOF) { lcv = fscanf(flptr,"%d",&num); if(lcv == 0) { getc(flptr); } else { printf("\n %d\n",num); printf("\n%d\n",lcv); } }

ok great thanks alot. I didnt realize the file pointer wouldnt advance if it "saw" a non-int
