File I/O

[effup]

Hi all. I am having trouble with file I/O.
Let say I have an input file like this
x1 y2 b4
85 z4 x2
I'm trying to read the input without using arrays. I would use fscanf(*arguments*) to get the first char, which is x. Then I call it again to get the second one, which is 1. Now I would need to get the second input, y2. How do I skip the white space character to get to char y ?
And is it an effective way to get all inputs though ? (each input, example x1, is read into a function). Thanks in advance everyone

If you want to read character by character you should use fgetc.
To skip the whitespace, just read it as a character, check that it's whitespace, and move on.

fscanf(fin," %c",&ch);
will read a file one non-whitespace character at a time.

thank you. That's what I did. Just a bug that didn't make the program run as expected
