Thread: How to check if a file exist , if it does read its content to another file.

Hey, I have this assignment for next week that requires me to write a program in c that prompts a user for a filename, if the file exist then tell the user that it exist and read the information in that file to another file called farmreport.dat, else if it does not exist create it from scratch and prompt the user for information and that information is to be sent to farmreport.dat

The name of the file that the user will enter is cropdata.dat, in this file there is the person's first name and last name on the first line and the quantity and prices of the foods they grew. Eg.

John Brown
100 2.30 300 2.00 450 1.30


Can you help me out.
So far I have written code to create the file from scratch but the information is not being saved in the file and the file is not ending. To save the info I have to enter Ctrl + Z . I cant figure out the code for if the file exist, tell the user it does and read the information into farmreport.dat.


Here is the code

Code:

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>




int main (void)
{


    char filename[90];
    int num;


int  amount1, amount2, amount3, amount4, amount5, amount6, amount7, amount8, amount9, amount10 =0;
    float   price1 , price2, price3, price4, price5, price6, price7, price8, price9, price10 = 0.0;
    char fname[20];
    char lname[20];
    int count=1;
    float revenue1, revenue2, revenue3, revenue4, revenue5, revenue6, revenue7, revenue8 , revenue9, revenue10 , total_revenue = 0.0;
    int maxpumpkins, maxonions, maxsweetpotatoes, maxyams, maxlettuce, maxgreenpeppers, maxtomatoes, maxcucumbers, maxbananas, maxgarlic =0;


    int totalpumpkins=0;
    int totalonions =0;
    int totalsweetpotatoes =0;
    int totalyams=0;
