File handling

[Unregistered]

HI,

Can anyone help me by giving some websites where I can find C programs that have file handling like add,edit,delete of records being stored in a txt file.

I will really appreciate if you can give me some as a reference for my projects.

Thanks

Guess you can do that by using:

fopen, fclose, fgets, fprintf.

[Nutshell]

You can try www.planet-source-code.com, but the most common way records are added is to use a temporary file to insert the data properly or use a binary tree so that when you insert the data it is already sorted and you can then write it to file (this is usually done in blocks for larger files). To delete you use a similar process by finding the record and either writing over it directly or using the temporary file method or binary tree method. What you use depends on what kind of speed you need as well as how much risk you can take and how the data is formatted.

Editing records can be handled much the same way, see a pattern forming? This way you can reuse code written for other purposes and modularize your programs to be more productive.
