argv[], user input

[GanglyLamb]

Im stuck with this problem..... (probably an FAQ but couldnt find it there though).
I know you can pass file names to an argument of main for instance.
int main( int argc, char argv[]);
where argv[0] is the filename.

Now what i want is that the user of my app can shoose wich file he wants to open. That file is needed to let my whole app run.
So i tried several things which are kinda stupid because i knew they would never work like:

FILE * fl;
char filename[BUFSIZ];
fgets(filename,BUFSIZ,stdin);
fl=fopen("%s","w",filename);
if(fl==0)
    perror("\n");

wich obviously wont work since fopen only takes two arguments+ i have the \n character at the end of the string.
Ive also tried several things with the argv thing. But i cant seem to figure out a way of how to get a string from the user and let the app open that "filename".

Play with this:

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    int n;
    
    for (n = 0; n < argc; n++)
        printf("%s\n",argv[n]);

    return 0;
}

if that is anywere near the solution for my prob, then i was almost there myself. But if its done in such a way then ill mess with the argc's and argv's untill it works.
thx

Command line args

>>fgets(filename,BUFSIZ,stdin);
Just remove the newline with

char *p;
if ((p = strchr(filename, '\n')) != NULL) *p = '\0';

>>fl=fopen("%s","w",filename);
Make it
>>fl=fopen(filename,"w");

Thx hammer i figured out that i should use argv[2] (in my case)
But then i was thinking of a way to get rid of the \n character.
Thx anyway btw that new faq section is really good.
Keep it up
