Reading multiple files in C

I have the following problem: My program is supposed to read data from files to an array. The files are numbered: capture[1].bmp,capture[2].bmp and so on. There are 24 of those files, and I really don't want to do the same step 24 times. Is there a way to write a loop along the lines of

Code:

---


for (int i=1; i<25, i++);
{
fp=fopen("capture[i].bmp", "rb");

fread(&ch,sizeof(ch),1,fp);
       
.....
}

---

In other words, is there a way to insert the "i" variable into the filename?



Thank you for your insights.

Code:

---

for (int i=1; i<25, i++)
{
char fn[100];
sprintf(fn,"capture&#37;d.bmp", i );
fp=fopen(fn, "rb");

fread(&ch,sizeof(ch),1,fp);
       
.....
}

Use sprintf() to generate the filename.

If the files have the names as given in the original post, I suppose:

Code:

---

sprintf(fn,"capture[%d].bmp", i );

---

would be what original poster wanted.

thanks for ur replies...............

but if that is the case............where can i specify the path name

In the sprintf statement, perhaps?

Example :

sprintf(fn,"/usr/home/capture%d.bmp".i)

say you loop through that with i having a value of 0, 1, and 2.
fn, then, in turn, will have :

/usr/home/capture0.bmp
/usr/home/capture1.bmp
/usr/home/capture2.bmp

That should get you what you want. Also, you may need to put in some escape characters like '\\' depending on what platform you're using.

Thanks for ur reply..............it's working

Can you cut out the "ur" kiddie English and repeated dots - thanks.

ok,thanks for your suggestion
