Hey guys, I am trying to write a program that will allow a user to write a name save it to a file then recall that name if possible. I also want to use a delete function. Could some one point me in the right direction I have been trying all day and nothing.
Let's see your work so far.

I have done this, I have been taught how to save a intreger to a file. I use this to try to save a nameCode:#include <stdio.h> void main() { FILE *fp; /*Declare file pointer*/ int number=4; char me[20]; printf("Enter a name?"); scanf("%s", &me); fp=fopen("test.txt","w+r"); /*Open file for writing*/ fprintf(fp,"%d", me); /*Print number to file*/ fclose(fp); /*Close file*/ }
void main is undefined - use int main instead!
Indent properly. Here's how it should look.
Don't use scanf to read a string. Read my signature. Read it carefully. I would rather see that scanf gone the next time you post sample code, please.
To save a string to file, you can use fputs. You can read a string with fgets.Code:#include <stdio.h> int main() { FILE *fp; /*Declare file pointer*/ int number=4; char me[20]; printf("Enter a name?"); scanf("%s", &me); fp=fopen("test.txt","w+r"); /*Open file for writing*/ fprintf(fp,"%d", me); /*Print number to file*/ fclose(fp); /*Close file*/ }

That should be obvious. Look at file tutorials if you really can't understand how fputs works.
