oops! I sent this to c# accidently, am I guilty of multiple posts with my first post?
read from .txt file & put into array?
Could someone give me a clue how to read a list of names (one per line )from a text file into an array (2d?) for use in a function.
I can open and close the file Ok. The file was written to with fprintf and I am trying to read from it with fscanf (using &) but my program keeps crashing. Heres a bit of it below
//function( ) simply prints the correct answer
{
FILE *f;
char s[30][100]; //crashing badly
int i;
f = fopen(datafile,"r"); //../correct_answers.txt
for(i=0;i!=EOF;i++) //strcpy????
s[i] = fscanf(f,"\n%s",&s) ;
switch (theQuestion)
{
case 1:
printf("\n%s",s[0]);//doesn't work
printf("rrrrr"); //this works but I need
//the answer from the file in here
break;
case 2:
printf("\n%s",s[1]);
break;
The .txt file is as follows:-
Wilfred Owen
Jane Austen
Patrick White
The program is a CGI program and when invoked from the form
crashes. It works ok if I use string constants in the case statements but I cant get my answers from the text file into the case statements. I'm new to this, lost , lonely and confused.
Any clues to point me in the right direction would be much appreciated.
Thank you.
