Thread: problem with EOF

Hi,i am writing a program which among the others,it has to store all the words from txt files in a hash table.the problem is that the program seems not to find the EOF in the first text,so it stops in that point.i 'm giving the specific part of the code.i will appreciate any help!!

Code:

	for(counter=0;counter<p;counter++)
	{
		while((c=fgetc(stream[counter]))!=feof(stream[counter]))
		{
			i=0;
			while(c!='\0')
			{
				buffer[i]=c;
				c=fgetc(stream[counter]);
				printf("%c",buffer[i]);
				i++;
			}
			buffer[i]=(char)"/0";
		}
	}

Code:

while((c=fgetc(stream[counter]))!=feof(stream[counter]))

That line of code won't work. What happens if you read a 0 in from the file? Also, feof() returns non-zero when it reaches the end of the file. Why are you comparing that result to the return value of fgetc()?

I think you meant to do something like:

Code:

while((c=fgetc(stream[counter])) && !feof(stream[counter]))

which can be shortened to:

Code:

while((c=fgetc(stream[counter]))!=EOF)

thanks for the help,but still nothing !another idea????

replace

Code:

buffer[i]=(char)"/0";

with

Code:

buffer[i]='\0';
