hi,
I'm trying to open a file from a command line argument and if it gets open
print a message.
it doesn't work
what am I doing wrong.
Code:#include <stdafx.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <string.h>
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
FILE *input;
if (argc = 2) {
input = fopen(argv[1],"r");
if (input ==NULL){
printf ("cannot open the file");
}else {
printf ("\n File opened successfully \n");
}
fclose(input);
}
return 0;
}
WHAT doesn't work?
Aside from setting argc to two instead of checking if it is two, that is?
Of course, if you are compiling with widechars, fopen probably doesn't work that well, but I expect the compiler to warn about that (at the least).
Whilst I think it's not a problem right here, you may want to make sure the file-pointer isn't NULL when calling fclose() - I don't believe it's "safe" to call fopen() with a NULL parameter at all times in all systems.

What doesn't work? The program? Opening a file?
Looking at the code, I would question whether it could compile without including "tchar.h". Other than that the code looks ok. So if you are saying the file is not opening, then I would check that the file exist and you are giving it on the command line spelled exactly with the extension
I just want to see if I can open a file successfully from command line
print a message if it opens successfully
We know WHAT you are trying to do, we just don't know WHAT doesn't work.Quote:

it doesn't compile,
and when I try to run it from command line it gives the message file cannot be opened,
and it says jit debugging component registration is incprrect.
and when I try to compile it it gives the following message:
myprog2 fatal error LNK1201: error writing to program database 'c:\Documents and Settings\Alex Karimian\My Documents\Visual Studio Projects\myprog2\Debug\myprog2.pdb'; check for insufficient disk space, invalid path, or insufficient privilege
Your linker thinks that pdb file is old. Delete that file and rebuild your project (after making the code corrections you've been advised to make).Quote:
