Wrong abt semi-finished program - why no output?

[Blankdraw]

I'm getting NO errors and 2 warnings with this code. I thought I was
ready to write the output-formatting segment, but may be way off the
mark now. The warnings say that "OPEN() and READ() are undeclared -
assuming an external is returning integer values." This is not the
source of the problem.
Step-Thru causes the system to demand the location of system-sounding
files like: CHKSTK.ASM, CRT0.C, READ.C. With no real debugger
feedback, I can't do nuthin. Step-Thru seems to get caught in an
infinite loop, but I can't figger what its doing.
Can someone here tell me why my console is idle but for the blinking
cursor? I've come a long way to give up now.

My program takes a text file of 5 integers per line, 140-odd lines of
this, and basically transforms it into a 2D array. The lines are
separated by LF-CR, of course.
The integers have to be matched in value with the rows in the array,
and my formatted printout will show 52 rows of integers. The
integers will be exactly as numerous as the rows in the text file are,
so it will show 52 rows by 140 columns.

The array rows will be made of integers only increasing in value,
because each of the 5 integers-per-line in the text will be matched
with a given array row according to the integer's actual value, and
these integers repeatedly match and increment the row values as the
rows progress from left-to-right (as read). Many previous array
values repeat because there is not often a match with the text data.

n is a character count, not something you can sensibly test against '\n'
or ^Z (and in any case, you'd do better using stdio functions).

The above specification makes *no* sense. Please try writing it in
English. Your code, retained at the EOM, is not written in standard C. In
fact, it is written in K&R C using non-standard functionality.

Here is a start for what it *appears* you are trying to do:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#define SIZE 1024

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
char buffer[SIZE];
FILE *fd;
int current[52][141] = { {0} };
int row;
int col;

if (argc != 2) { /* process error here */
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
if (!(fd = fopen(argv[1], "r"))) { /* process error here */
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}

for (col = 1; fgets(buffer, sizeof buffer, fd); col++) {
char *token;
int n;
for (token = strtok(buffer, " "); token; token = strtok(0, " ")) {
if (!sscanf(token, "n%d", &n)) /* process error */
;
/* use this read integer 'n' however it is that you do so */
}
}

return 0;
}
[EOM: original code]
#include <stdio.h>

current[row][col] = 0;
}
row = 0;

/* problem has to be between here and the output loops */

fd = open(argv[1], O_RDONLY | O_TEXT);

K&R style function definition. Implicit int. the above line is pointless if you
really want what you did here, but I doubt it. It was char *argv[], last time I
checked. Do they do things this way where you're from?

hafta? w/o? nice english in the comment, pal.
int fd;

magic numbers!

open() takes a pointer to a character. argv[1] is a pointer to an integer in
this code. And you never checked if argv[1] was even given. Try using argc for
that.
/* while (n != CTRL_Z ) /* big loop - begin new dwg date to EOF
*/
your compiler must've warned you about this one.
while (n > 0 ) /* big loop - begin new dwg date to EOF
*/
{ col++; /* only cols need init 0-buffer: (r[1]c[2] */
while ( (n = read(fd,buffer,SIZE)) != '\n' ) /* skip CR-LF */

read() returns the number of bytes read. So it's pointless to check it against
'\n' (and for the record, a CRLF is "\r\n"), or to check n to CTRL_Z in the
outer loop(which I think you commented out). Although it's hard to see what the
outer loop IS, or what you commented out or not. I'm not reading any more of
this, go fix your code. The way I see it if this does what you want it to you're
lucky, because it's undefined and obfuscated.

And make it readable next time? The indentation sucks badly. Spaces here, tabs
there... When posting code to a newsgroup, try indenting with spaces(4 of them).
No tabs. Get rid of all code commented out unless it makes the code more
understandable.
Also, don't let lines be longer than 75-80 characters.
