i have the following
Code:
int main()
{
//declare variables
char buffer[1024] = {'\0'};
FILE *pRead = NULL;
pRead = fopen("names.txt", "r");
if ( pRead == NULL )
{
printf("file cant be opened!!\n");
return 0;
}
//fscanf( pRead, "%s", buffer );
//fread(buffer, sizeof buffer, sizeof(char), pRead);
while ( (fscanf(pRead, "\"%[^\"]\",", buffer) != EOF) )
//while (fread(buffer, sizeof buffer, sizeof(char), pRead) != 1)
{
printf("%s\n",buffer);
}
fclose( pRead );
return 0;
}
the only one that did something other than a load of empty lines in a infinite loop was but it would print the text file twice before ending if it was inside the while loop or print the text file in a infinite loop outside the while loop.
if i make the buffer smaller it just throws a seg fault when it tries to read the file.
i even copied the current while loop from the official answer and it just produces empty buffer again in an infinite loop
