I'm in love with fflush(stdin). That's just the way it has to be! :(


Edit: In all seriousness...

How would I go about removing the newline left by my call to fgets() without using...

Woops...

Yeah I usually do something like:



len = strlen(file_name);
if (file_name[len-1] == '\n')
file_name[len-1] = 0;

I had this same problem a few weeks ago trying to open a text file.

Just thought I'd add a reply to this aswell. My code assumes the person doesn't know the file extension and adds on ".txt" but...

Does using getch(); work any better?

Also, can someone illustrate the reasons why fflush(stdin) should not be used?

I'm not an expert or anything but I don't see what's wrong with it. When I...

ggraz,

To achieve that you will need to use two loops. Look at the following code:



#include <stdio.h>
#include <ctype.h> /* for toupper() & tolower() */
#include <string.h> /* for...

Try this:



char input[51];
int i;

printf("Enter something...\n");
scanf("&#37;[^\n]", input);

I don't understand why you're having a problem getting random numbers that vary.

Just compile this code:



#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>

Thanks for all your replies.

The fscanf function is what I was looking for, thanks Salem!

Hey guys,

Thanks for replying. I am going to try what you've suggested. I didn't think it would be so easy.

In a nutshell, what I want to do is read the values back into the variables from...

Hi,

I have coded a very simple save function for a little game I'm messing about with at the moment. The program just writes all the variables to a text file.

Say I have a "hitpoints" variable,...

Thanks for clearing that up :)

Also, I've just been using fflush(); getchar(); because that's what I was shows to do from the beginning.

I've been following the C programming tutorials by Mark...

Hello,

I just have a quick question to ask...

I am getting an "assignment from incompatible pointer type" in my code and I can't understand why.

I have actually got this program to compile...
