Thread: Problem with reading data files

I'm confused as to how I can read a file like this: (any help/advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks)

Params
0
1
2
3
4
1,3
Data
3,2
4,4
5,5
3,2
0,0

I've gotten this far with a program to do it:

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main()

{
	float G, vi, B, t, duration[], burnrate[];
	int mi, ve, D, S;
		
	FILE *inFile, *outFile;
	inFile = fopen("LAND2.txt", "r");			
	if (inFile == NULL)
	{
	printf("\nFailed to open the file.\n");			exit (1);
	}
		
	if (inFile != NULL)
	{
	printf("\nThe file LAND2.txt was opened successfully.");
	}

	while (fscanf(inFile, "%f", . . . )

   	fscanf (inFile, "Params \n");				fscanf (inFile, "%f", &G \n); 			
	fscanf (inFile, "%f", &vi \n);				fscanf (inFile, "%f", &B \n);				fscanf (inFile, "%f", &t \n);				fscanf (inFile, "%d", &mi \n);			
	fscanf (inFile, "%d", &ve \n);				fscanf (inFile, "%d, %d", &D, &S);		

	fscanf (inFile, "Data \n");   	

	for (i = 0; i < 5; ++i)
	fscanf (inFile, "%d,%f", &duration[i], &burnrate[i] &B \n);
	}
	
fclose (inFile);
}

Well, what problems are you having?

I don't think fscanf() bothers with locale settings so decimal commas for floating point numbers might not work as expected.

I just am not sure what should go inside the "while (fscanf(inFile, "%f", . . . )" bit .. . i haven't even made it far enough to run my program yet.

sorry, since some of the data has more than one value per line.

should it be while (fscanf(inFile, "%f", &x) . . . and how would i let the 'x' change for each variable i put in
