Thread: HELP with reading files

can any1 write a loop for me that will read the entire file
line by line.. i.e. on each iteration the line with newline charaacter must be stored in a string till the end of file... help..

There's just 3 I/O functions you need to use here. fopen(), fclose(), and fgets(). Is your problem in understanding how to use these functions, or how to save the lines you read in with fgets()?

i need to read a file format is ....

FILE FORMAT

SYMBOL MNEMONICS OPERANDS

..... ......... ........

[EOF]


symbols column may not contain a blank...

no. of blank sapces may not be 1

i need to read 1 line at a time so that ill have [symbol (1 blank) mnem0nics (1blank) operands] in my string...
examplefile to be read with smbol)

loop MOV B,FOUR


my string should conatain (loop MOV B,FOUR)

(without smbol)

DS F10

string should contain(DS F10) with info that there is no symbol...

well, best way to ready a line is using fgets fucntion. google fgets

HINT: fgets(char *, no of bytes to be read, FILE *);
