    change this program to open a file

    how would i change this function of my program to open a file named "numbers"? i know i would get rid of the srand and the part dealing w/ rand. also, do i declare FILE *fptemp in this function or in main?
    Code:
    /*	=============== fillArray ===================
    	This function fills an array of a given length with
    	random numbers in a given range.
    	   Pre   ary is an ary of integers
    	         size is the number of elements
    	         lowLimit is the minimum value to use
    	         highLimit is the maximum value to use
    	   Post  array has been filled
    */
    void fillArray (int ary[],    int size,
                    int lowLimit, int highLimit)
    {
    /*	Local Definitions */
    	int i;
    	int num;
    
    /*	Statements */
    	srand (time (NULL));
    
    	for (i = 0; i < size; i++)
    	   {
    	    num = rand() % ((highLimit + 1) 
    	        – lowLimit) + lowLimit;
    	    if (num % 7 == 0  ||  num % 3 == 0)
    	       ary[i] = -num;
    	    else
    	       ary[i] = num;
    	   } /* for */
    
    	return;
    }	/* fillArray */
    thanks

    Check out the FAQ.

    And use code tags.

    Click on the "FAQ" in my last post - it will show you have to open a file. You can then use fscanf() using the open file handle.
