Little bit late, but you should check if the files are realy opened before you use it.
And dont forget to close it if you dont need it anymore.Code:… FILE *fp = NULL, *outfile = NULL; if ((fp = fopen("be.txt", "r")) == NULL) { fprintf(stderr, "could not open file 'be.txt'! exit.\n"); return 1; } if ((outfile = fopen("ki.txt", "w")) == NULL) { fprintf(stderr, "could not open file 'ki.txt'! exit.\n"); fclose(fp); return 1; } …
