File Handling?!?

**Twiggy** · 10-23-2001

Ok, I asked this before. I've tried the suggestions and have failed. This is what I want to do.

I have a question.txt file that looks like this.
Question 1: Yadda yadda
Answer: TRUE
Question 2: Yadda Yadda
Answer: FALSE

Now how would I make a program read from that file, print the question, ask for user input then check the answer against the answer in the text file? I think I can figure out the user input part, but I just need help with the file handling part. Any help would be appretiated.

A bit like this perhaps

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main ( int argc, char **argv ) {
    FILE *fp = fopen( "question.txt", "r" );
    char question[BUFSIZ], answer[BUFSIZ], my_answer[BUFSIZ];
    while ( fgets( question, BUFSIZ, fp ) != NULL ) {
        fgets( answer, BUFSIZ, fp );
        printf( "%s", question );
        fgets( my_answer, BUFSIZ, stdin );
        if ( strcmp( answer, my_answer) == 0 ) {
            // correct
        } else {
            // wrong
        }
    }
    return 0;
}
