Hey all. Trying to search through a text file and recognize when I hit an 'M', but it continues to read through the entire file. What am I missing?
Code:while (x = fgetc(fp) != EOF) { fseek(fp, (sizeof(char)*offset), SEEK_SET); if (x == 'M') { break; } printf("x = %c at pos %ld\n", fgetc(fp), ftell(fp)); offset++; }
> while (x = fgetc(fp) != EOF)
If you want this to be the char read, you need extra ()
= has lower precedence than !=
So
while ( (x = fgetc(fp)) != EOF)
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
Thank you
