fprintf and fscanf error

I'm a beginner and I've been confused with the error for two days.

Can somebody help me to point out which part of my code goes wrong? Thanks.

code:

Code:

---

int main()
{FILE *fr;
fr=fopen("d:\\doc.txt","r+");
if (fr==NULL)
    {printf("Error");
exit(1);}
char s[256];
fscanf(fr, "%s", s);
printf("The text is %s", s);
fprintf(fr, "asdd");
fscanf(fr, "%s", s);
printf("\nThe text now is %s", s);

    return 0;
}

---

Between writing and reading, you need to use
fflush(fr);

> printf("\nThe text now is %s", s);
What do you expect to see?
If the original file was "Hello", then you could be looking at "Helloasdd", "asdd", "asddo" or maybe even something else.

Perhaps you should have
fflush(fr);
fseek(fr,0,SEEK_SET);

Then the 2nd fscanf will re-read the original text and your appended text.

May I know the why I cannot read immediately after writing? What's the principle behind it? I was learning the tutorial from this website but it did not explained anything. Thank you.

Because that's what it says in the standard and the manual pages.

intervening call to the fflush function or to a file positioning function (fseek,
fsetpos, or rewind), and input shall not be directly followed by output without an
intervening call to a file positioning function, unless the input operation encounters end-
of-file. Opening (or creating) a text file with update mode may instead open (or create) a
binary stream in some implementations.
