how would you seek to a particular spot in a file and read an int?
if i have a file full of ints
50 51 9
how do i read each of these ints using fseek?
Code:int i = 0; int temp_Var; while( (seeker = fseek(inputfile, i * sizeof(int), SEEK_SET))!=0) { //store into a temp variable? how to? i++; }
Why would you read file using fseek at all. See FAQ on this

If the ints in the file are ascii (readable with a text editor), you can't use fseek() to seek to a particular int. You would need to read each one using fscanf() until you reach the one in question.
If the file is binary (unreadable except with a hex editor) then fseek() should work.

Well fseek just moves around the file pointer you would still need to use fscanf or fread to read in the integer.
