problem with open file.

[oror84]

Hi, i have a problem.
i have a file that there is a line in the file : #include "hello.h"
i have to open the "hello.h" file and copy it to another file.
i did :

char getline[MAX_LINE];
char *fp1;


fp1 = strchr(getline2,'#'); /* fp1 = #include ..., taking the include from the line */
fp1 = strchr(fp1,'"'); /* fp1 = "hello.h" */
FILE *file = fopen(fp1,"w");

the file hello.h is in the main libary and the file not opened.

i hope i was understandable, and if someone can help me i`ll appreciate it.
Thanks,
Or.

Did you intend to open it for writing? If not you should have used fopen(fp1,"r");

Also you should check the return value from fopen() to make sure it succeeded.
Then, of course, you will need to read the fine in line by line or character by character to display it.

its for writing, and my problem that the file cant open.
so its not succeeded, thats what i want to know,
why its not succeeded.

Because the value of fp1 will be "hello.h", not hello.h. strchr returns a pointer to the first occurrence of the character, which will be ". Your OS is likely balking at creating a file with quotes in it.

Nice catch!
