hi all,
i have a question and i have only 48 hours to finish this project,
i have a binary file that i nned to contains some information, i need to store this information in an array of the file size...so simply...how can i determine the size of a binary file in C
thanks

[taha54]

please try to send me code

Open the file in binary read mode
Read and count one byte at a time
When you hit EOF, you're done.

And why should we send you code? Can you afford to pay an independant consultant for programming services?

Here, I'll send you "some code", you can do the rest.

int main( void )
{
    return 0;
}

There's some. It will even compile and run.

Just look up what is availible to you in stdio.h.

guidance.txt is a file in the same directory as the executable. This could definetly use come cleaning up to be functional, but I figure it gets the concept across.

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
        FILE *fd;
        int size;

        fd=fopen("guidance.txt", "rb");

        fseek (fd, 0, SEEK_END);
        size=ftell(fd);
        fclose(fd);

        printf("guidance.txt is %i bytes long\n", size);

        return 0;
}

breik : thank you very much man, i was looking for fseek i did not know how to use it...thanks alot

quzah: your code is just like your brain...void...doesnt return anything...you figure out the rest

Actually... it returns 0....

...and insulting a senior member doesn't make up for asking someone to do your homework for you on this forum. I know, it's hard to adapt to all these crazy rules.

[taha54]

that was not a homework to let you know, ok

It wasn't urgent either

But it is closed.
