    PHP Code:

    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    #include <conio.h>

    #define BUFFER_SIZE 1000

    int main()
    {
        
    FILEFilePointer;
        
    int   Variable;
        
    char  cBuffer[BUFFER_SIZE+1];

        
    Variable 42;

        
    /* open for writing a file named test.txt on C: */
        
    FilePointer fopen"C:\\test.txt""w" );

        
    /* check if successfull */
        
    if( FilePointer == NULL )
        {
            
    printf"Unable to open file for writing..." );
            return 
    1;
        }

        
    /* write to file */
        
    fprintfFilePointer
                 
    "Test Text to test file writing and reading. Variable = %d..."
                 
    Variable );

        
    Variable 18745;


        
    /* write to file */
        
    fprintfFilePointer
                 
    "\nNextLine: Variable = %d..."
                 
    Variable );


        
    /* done, close file */
        
    fcloseFilePointer );

        
    /* now test it, by reading and diplaying it */

        /* open file for reading*/
        
    FilePointer fopen"C:\\test.txt""r" );

        
    /* check if file found*/
        
    if( FilePointer == NULL )
        {
            
    printf"Unable to open file for reading..." );
            return 
    2;
        }

        
    /* while still chars from file unread */
        
    while( ! feofFilePointer ) )
        {

            
    /* read from file */
            
    fgetscBufferBUFFER_SIZEFilePointer );

            
    /* display line from file */
            
    printf"Line read from file was:\n[%s]\n"cBuffer );
        }

        
    /* close file */
        
    fcloseFilePointer );

        
    getch();

        return 
    0;

    When in doubt, read the FAQ.
    Then ask a smart question.

    I used the PHP tag.

    I volunteered in the mod's forum to code another
    highlighting for the CODE tag if i have access to the
    PHP one, because it's colored, but not really C-like.

    VS.NET code is colored even when you cut and paste it into programs like notepad or email.
    I compile code with:
    Visual Studio.NET beta2

    Sorry, correct syntax is not FilePointer = fopen( "C:\test.txt", "r" );


    it is: FilePointer=fopen("C:\\test.txt","r");


    Please not the double back slashes in order to avoid representing an escape character.

    in C# you can use and '@' sign which is a trigger that allows you to use single backslashes in your paths.

    Hm, I copied that code directly from my VC,
    it should have been correct... at least I do
    have a file named test.txt on my C:\...

    Code:
    backslash test: double backslashes: \\
    PHP Code:
    backslash testdouble backslashes: \\ 
    Lets see if the PHP-tag eats it...


    Oh, WK, I don't think .NET code will be colored
    outside of an editor that supports coloring.
    They would have to write a new notepad to do
    what you promised... However, the @ symbol
    could come in really handy in some situations.

    When you cut and paste it into notepad or Outlook express or other apps it is colored! It retains the color.

    Not colored in notepad but perhaps XML notepad. It is colored when transfered to Outlook Express or MS Office, wordpad, etc.

    while(true)
    {
    //create a new node used to store a record from the input file
    newp = (node_t *) malloc (sizeof(node_t));
    newp->linkp = NULL;

    doesn't work here though....
