I am getting a error code for this C program. It says that FILE is not undelared.

[Kage609]

Here is my code so far:

#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
 
 
 
 
int main(void)
 
{
 
 FILE *pRead;
char tmp[10];
size_t stringLength;
int output;
int count;
count =1;
pRead = fopen ("friends.dat", "r");
if (!fin)
{
fprintf (stderr, "Could not open file %s for read!\n","friends.dat");
exit (EXIT_FAILURE);
}
 
while ( 1 )
{
 
char *tmpString;
 
output = fscanf (fin, "%s", tmp);
 
stringLength = strlen (&tmp);
 
tmpString = (char *) calloc (stringLength, sizeof (char));
 
strcpy (tmpString, tmp);
 
if (count %2 == 0)
fprintf (stdout, "%s\n", tmpString);
else
fprintf (stdout, "%s ", tmpString);
if (output == feof)
break;
 
count++;
}

Sorry FILE is undeclared

Please post the exact error. The code you have posted does declare FILE.

Did your stdio.h get successfully included?

what is fin declared as? try pRead instead.

Sorry I work second shift here is the error messages, I have attached a screen shot of error messages.

Looks like you need to tell codeblocks where the paths are to the compiler you've chosen to use.

click on the settings menu
click on compiler and debugger

click on the search directories tab

click on the compiler tab to add paths to the includes.
click on the linker tab to add the paths to the lib files

Under the toolchain executables, check that your paths are correct and add any other paths to bin folders under the additional paths tab

Hopefully that will get you going. Good luck
