Reading a list of ints from file into an array

I'm having a little difficulty understanding how to read a file into an array - in this case a file of numbers (ints) into an array. I know how to open a file for reading, but once I have it open how can I read it's contents into an array? For example let's say I have the following code:

Code:

---

FILE* sp;
    int num;
    sp = fopen("rut.txt","r");
  while (fscanf(sp,"%d",&num)==1)
      printf("%d\n",num);

---

Now, lets say that the file "rut.txt" is a file full of numbers like this
124
5
-5
0
9
etc...

How can I fill an array directly from the stream? I guess I'm not understanding thee C api very well

Well, first you need the array to store the numbers into. If you know your file will only contain a certain amount of numbers then you can allocate a fixed size array to deal with them... if not, then you'd likely need to dynamically allocate/reallocate with malloc/realloc to accommodate an unknown number of values.

Then, you'll need a counter that starts at zero and is incremented by one each time through the read loop. This is used as an index into your array where you assign the value you've just read from the file into that specific index of the array.
