Thread: My log file player; Hit the brick wall

Okie dokie. I've been working on my log file player. I've run into a problem. Here is the code I have. However it doesn't print off the log file. It just loads the log file, then jumps to the last printf. Also I get implicited delcaration of 'pause'. Not sure how to get rid of that.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <dos.h>



int main(void)
{

	FILE * log_file;
	char log_file_name[20];
	char log;


	printf("Enter the name of the log to be played.\n");
	gets(log_file_name);
	if (log_file_name != NULL)
	{
		printf("Loading log file.\n");
	}else{
		printf("Please enter a log file.\n");
		gets(log_file_name);
		return 0;
	}



	while (1){
		log = fgetc(log_file);
		if(log !=EOF ){
			printf("%c", log);
		}
		else if (log == '<')
		{
			pause(1);
			continue;
	}else{

		break;
	}
}

	printf("Log completed. Thank you for watching. Come back next time.\n");
	fclose(log_file);
	return 0;

}
