hi all, this is reddy, a beginner to c lang,,here i have some problems
in reading and modifying the contents of a file,, hope you can help to
solve this problem. Here i attach the file to be modified and the
program code.
In the attached file below i just want to change the value of
data(only float value) after the line 1 P V T 1 15 till 2 G TT,
from positive to negative and vice versa, and wire the date in other
file. can someone help me to solve this.
thanks.

Use EXIT_FAILURE, not 1.
}

How many times have you tested your code? Do you remember to delete
your output file each time? Since you always append data to the file,
it is entirely possible that what you consider bad output is residual
from previous tests.
{
printf("Can't open input file %s",file3);
This error message should reflect that file3 is the output file.
exit(1); /* Exit Program */

if (in_region && sscanf(file1, "%d %f", &num, &value) == 2) {
in_region was never initialized with or assigned a value. This
statement invokes undefined behavior. Many compilers will generate a
diagnostic for this condition. Did yours?
printf("%d %1.1f\n", num, -value);
fprintf(file2," %d\n %1.1f\n", num, -value);

in_region = 1;
else if(file1[2] == 'G')
in_region = 0;
fputs(file1, stdout);
fputs(file1, file2);
On those occasions when in_region is not zero and sscanf returns two,
you not only printf and fprintf your numeric values but you repeat the
input line. You do this to both stdout and to file2. The output you
show us below does not have this repeated data. That brings us back
to the original question - Where is your real code and where is your

in to follow the advice given I might have put in effort to point out
additional problems, but as you do not seem to have taken note of

The present code that iam using:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <ctype.h>
You don't use any declarations from string.h and ctype.h below.
void main(void)
In Standard C main *must* return an int value.
{
FILE *in1,*in2;
char file1[1000], file2[1000];
I'd use symbolic constants instead of numeric literals. It's easier to
change; an edit at one place automatically propagates wherever it is
used.
int num;
float value;
Do you have any particular reason for using float instead of double.
On most machines the latter type is usually faster, and it's
unquestionably of better precision.
char in_region=0;
printf("\n\n Input File 1: ");
gets(file1);
Are you trying to become a troll?
Multiple posters have already told you about the severe risk and
inadvisability of using gets. The use of alternatives like fgets was
also illustrated. Just above you said you didn't want to use gets. Yet
here you're using it again. You do use fgets below, so it's not that
you don't know how replace these gets calls.
Also the string supplied to printf is not terminated with a newline. I
told you previously that that's needed if you want to immediately
flush your stdout stream.
printf("\n\n Output File3: ");
gets(file2);
Ditto.
if((in1 = fopen(file1,"r" )) == NULL)
{
printf("Can't open input file %s",file1);
exit(1); /* Exit Program */
I also informed you that the only portable program termination status
values were 0, EXIT_SUCCESS and EXIT_FAILURE. One is *not* a portable
value. Again you've failed to heed the advice. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |
