Thread: multi-character character constant error

I'm baffled, can anybody tell me why this is giving an error?

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{
FILE*in, *out;
int ix, c;

in = fopen("fg","rt");
out = fopen("og","wt");



/*read four lines of header*/
 for( ix = 0; ix < 4; ++ix ) {
  while( (c = fgetc( in)) != '/n' ) {
   fputc( c, out ) ;
  }
 }


return 0;
}

Code:

C:\>gcc t.c -Wall -Werror -ansi -pedantic
t.c:16:30: multi-character character constant

C:\>

What char is that again?

Oh. D'oh! It's always something simple isn't it.

dwks: yeah you're right I had actually copied it from another program that I'm writing. I guess I forgot to copy that part.

thanks
