hello
I am trying to open a file which exists on my local PC using fopen
the file is located in
c:\B2B Data\files and is called file.txt
When i put the above into a variable called filename, i cannot open it
ie
char filename[27]="c:\B2B Data\files\file.txt";
i then issue an fp = fopen(filename, "r" );
Any ideas?
Use double back slashes instead.
>>char filename[27]="c:\B2B Data\files\file.txt";
your compiler should have issued a lot of error messages about that line. Never ever ignore errors or warnings (in your own code) Most of the time, like the above line, warnings are actually errors waiting to crash your program.
