Hi, I''m using the following code to populate my array with ints. #include int list[5]; FILE *fp = fopen("myfile.txt","rt")if(fp!=NULL) { for(int a=0; a<5; a++) { fscanf(fp,"%i",&list Thanks in advance! ' Target=_Blank>Link

what exactly is your question ??

{ Stating the obvious never helped any situation !! }

Hmmm... that was bizarre... the last part of the post got chopped off...

Well anyway, here it is again...

#include
int list[ 5 ];
FILE *fp = fopen("myfile.txt","rt")
if(fp!=NULL) {
for(int i=0; i<5; i++)
{
fscanf(fp,"%i",&list ); <br>} <br>fclose(fp);<br>}<br><br>I wanted to know how I would get doubles and strings to work with the above code… Every time I've tried I get errors.<br><br>Any assistance would be helpful. <br><br>Edited by - Zoe on May 15, 2001 10:16:43 PM <br><br>Edited by - Zoe on May 15, 2001 10:17:41 PM

Thanks Null and Void....

One question though...

Why the [ 100 ] after the list [ 5 ] ?

What does that do?

char list[5];

That''s a character array of 5 elements. Not enough to hold my name.

char list[100];

That''s a character array of 100 elements (a single string). If you want an array of strings, you need to do

char list[5][100];

Then you have an array of strings. So if I had five strings
"I"
"Am"
"Not"
"A"
"Lawyer"
and read them into the arrays,

printf( "%s", list[2][2]); // bad C; been coding C++ too long

would print the letter "t" to the screen.
