reading using fread

how do i read from a text file using fread

[Banfa]

This question doesn't readdy make sense without more detail

1. Open the file with fopen
2. Read it with fread
3. Close the file with fclose

FILE fin = fopen( "FileName.txt", "r");
char text[100];
 
fread(text, sizeof text, 1, fin);
 
fclose(fin);
 

Of course that code has no error handling.

Perhaps you missed my answers to the same question which you asked yesterday.
