Error with files in C

[athlon32]

This is my code that I'm using:

void create_project_go()
   {
    FILE *fp;
    FILE *fopen("/usr/lib/htmlexamples/default.html", "r");

   };

and i get this error:

Based upon your post, may I suggest you start with something similar out of a book such as the "Hello World" program!

#include <file.h>

void create_project_go()
 {
    FILE *fp;    
      // Open an existing text file for reading!
   fp = fopen( "/usr//lib/htmlexamples//default.html", "rt"); 
  if (NULL != fp)
  {



        fclose(fp);
    }


   };

Your 3rd line is wrong. It must be fp=fopen("/usr/lib/htmlexamples/default.html", "r");
because fp is the pointer to the string not fopen, you somewhat muddled it. Or otherwise you can have it this way
FILE *fp=fopen("/usr/lib/htmlexamples/default.html", "r");

thanks, that fixed the problem, the only thing i don't get is that i copied that from cprogramming.com and it didn't work, someone really should let them know lol

anyways, THANKS!

It is the users who write the code and they sometimes may be wrong.

Such a thing would never happen in DANI because here on DANIWEB if there are 100s to tell you where you are right there are 1000s to tell you where you are wrong...!!!

Daniweb ROCKS !!!
