Thread: reading a file,i have a problem with this

hi all

i just write a code that read a string from list
and when i run the program always give me that the name of file is not exists!

here is the code

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <windows.h>
#define A 50

typedef struct Lab *ptr;
struct Lab{
char Title[A];
char Author[A];
char Subject[A];
long ISBN;
ptr next;
};
typedef ptr LIST;
typedef ptr Postion;
 void ReadFromFile(l);
int main()
{
    LIST l;
l=(LIST)malloc(sizeof(struct Lab));
l->next=NULL;
ReadFromFile(l);
 
return 0;
}
  void ReadFromFile(LIST l){
   char reading[50];
   FILE*fin;
   printf("Enter the name of file");
   scanf("%s",reading);
   fin=fopen(reading,"r");
   if(fin == NULL){
    printf("the file not exsit");
   ReadFromFile(l);
   }
else
    printf("okey");
   fclose(fin);
   }

What are you entering for the file name? Does that file actually exist in the projects working directory?
