    What's wrong with this code?

    I'm kind of new to programming, anyway I wanted to write a program to count the size of a file. It detects the end of file earlier than expected.
    I can't seem to find something wrong.Please take a look and tell me.

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

    #define ARXEIO1 "C:SIZE_TO_FIND.DAT"

    void synartisi_1(int *bytes,char *xar,FILE *arxeio);

    int main(void)
    {

    FILE *arxeio1;
    char xar;
    int bytes = 0;
    int r = 0;

    arxeio1 = fopen(ARXEIO1,"r");

    synartisi_1(&bytes,&xar,arxeio1);
    while ( feof(arxeio1) == 0 )
    {
    synartisi_1(&bytes,&xar,arxeio1);
    }

    fclose(arxeio1);
    return 0;

    }



    void synartisi_1(int *bytes,char *xar,FILE *arxeio)
    {

    (*bytes)++;
    fgetc(arxeio);
    if ( (*bytes)%100 == 0 )
    {
    printf("\nUntil now %d bytes %.3f Kb %.3f Mb", (*bytes) , ((*bytes)/1024.0) , (((*bytes)/1024.0)/1024.0) );
    }

    }

    A few things for you to read:
    http://cboard.cprogramming.com/showt...threadid=25765
    http://faq.cprogramming.com/cgi-bin/...&id=1043284351
    http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/C-faq/q19.12.html

    You may want to open the file in binary mode ("rb").

    Also, check the return code from fopen() before using it.
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]

    I didn't know about the code tags, and I also
    didn't think that the title of my thread was wrong.
    I will from now on, try to apply these things.
    Thank you very much.
