Thread: How to print text from a file to the screen

Hi everyone,

I've been fiddling through some tutorials about printing the contents of a file to the screen but when I try using commands they get stuck.

I put this code in but it wont have it

FILE *fp;
fp=fopen("file1.txt","r");
fprintf(fp,"Contents of the file:\n");

The file1.txt is stored on a server and im using unix terminal.

I don't get a compiler error but the contents will not appear on screen.

It is in a program that works without printing the file contents so I have included everything else necessary I just need to correct these lines of code!


Thanks for the help!
