Problem with reading file...while (!feof(file)) leads to infinite loop!

Question

void OpenFile() {

    FILE *fp;

    char buffer[1024];
    int number;
    fp=fopen("godess.txt","r");
    if(fp==NULL){
        printf("Error opening file!\n");
        exit(0);
    }
    else {  
            while (!feof(fp)) {
                printf("In loop!!!!");
                fscanf(fp,"%d\n",&number);
            }
            fclose(fp);
    }
}

Also: `if( fp == NULL ) { perror( "godess.txt" ); exit( EXIT_FAILURE ); }` — William Pursell, Dec 23 '12 at 20:57

You should check the return value of fscanf to see whether it has successfully read a number.
