I'm actually beginning with C programming
I use Dev C++ and I can't open the test file "baba.txt" using the following program:
#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
FILE *fp;
fp=fopen("c:\\baba.txt","r");
system("pause");
}
Perhaps there are some protections.... fopen don't even return a 0...
Could anyone help me ?
Thanx in advance
What are you expecting fopen to do? How do you know it doesn't return 0?
I just want to read a .txt file.I am expecting fopen to open it and show me what is inside... Am I wrong?
It is written in the tutorial:"Note that it's possible for fopen to fail even if your program is perfectly correct: you might try to open a file specified by the user, and that file might not exist (or it might be write-protected). In those cases, fopen will return 0, the NULL pointer.".
My program do not return 0...so I guess I am not concerned by those problems.
You're not even checking the return value of fopen() so how do you know what it's returning? Opening a file doesn't magically show you what's inside. It just gives you the ability to read and/or write to it.
If you understand what you're doing, you're not learning anything.
hmm...ok. Need a little printf in there...
Thank you
