Could you help me with the creation of a text file as right now the *fp pointer to the file is returning NULL to the function fopen ?
Using the library errno.h
and extern int errno
I get "Value of errno: 22".
if (!fp)perror("fopen")
gives me "Error opening file: Invalid argument".
In my main function I enter the name of the file:
void main()
{
float **x;
int i,j;
int l,c;
char name_file[30];
FILE *res;
/* some lines omitted */
printf("\nEnter the name of the file =>");
fflush (stdin);
fgets(name_file,30,stdin);
printf("Name of file : %s", name_file);
res=creation(name_file,l,c,x);
printf("\nThe created file\n");
readfile(res,name_file);
}
The function to create the text file:
FILE *creation(char *f_name,int l, int c, float **a) // l rows - c colums - a array
{ FILE *fp;
int i,j;
fp = fopen(f_name,"wt+"); // create for writing and reading
fflush(stdin);
/* The pointer to the file is NULL: */
if (!fp)perror("fopen"); // it's returning Invalid argument
printf("%d\n",fp); //0 ??
if(fp==NULL) { printf("File could not be created!\n"); exit(1); }
fflush(stdin);
for(i=0;i<l;i++)
{
for(j=0;j<c;j++)
{
fprintf(fp,"%3.2f",a[i][j]); // enter every score of the array in the text file
}
fprintf(fp,"\n");
}
return fp;
}
Function to read the file and check if it is correct:
**void readfile(FILE *fp,char *f_name)**
{
float a;
rewind(fp);
if(fp==NULL) { printf("File %s could not open\n",f_name); exit(1); }
while(fscanf(fp,"%3.2f",&a)!= EOF)
printf("\n%3.2f",a);
fclose(fp);
}
