Hi
Can anyone explain in layman's terms the sequence of events required to
upload a csv.txt and put the contents into an array.
Lets assume I have a form to select the csv.txt file, which then uploads,
then what happens to it? where does it go? how do I get it out of the ether?
How, where do I access it. Looking at the PHP manual, I deduce that I need
to some how use the fopen and fgetcsv but unfortunately it reads like
gobbledygook to me at the moment.
I can do, see and understand that if it was a picture, it goes into a
directory on the server and resides there, but I don't want the csv.txt file
to be saved.

It goes a a temp directory under a temp name.
You can easily retrieve it and store it in a place you want it to be.
This is done by the code in the receiving script (= the script mentioned in
the action-tag of the form that contains the file-selector for the
fileupload.)

First get the upload up and running, then start with the handling of the
file.
fgetcvs() is a nice helperfunction, but you can do it by hand too.
Really, just try it.
No use in us telling you what to do to the letter if you don't understand it
yourself.
If you want to test your result somehow (the array), a handy function is
print_r(). It prints the, possibly complex, structure of the array.
Use pre, like this:
<pre>
<? print_r($yourRe sultArray); ?>
</pre> I can do, see and understand that if it was a picture, it goes into a directory on the server and resides there, but I don't want the csv.txt file to be saved.
Then delete it afterwards.

But if you try to handle it yourself don't fall in to the pitfall of just
exploding the string on "," as some CSV files may have commas within
columns, e.g.:
Name,Age
John Smith,21
"Doe, Jane", 21

Hi!
In my code, I have an array of a structure, which I want to save to a
binary file. When the array is just created, everything works fine, but
when I change contents of the array, saving results in a file, which
doesn't hold the information of the changed array anymore. I dont know why.
Here is the code:

Hi,
I'm trying to store all of my data into one file (there're about 140 things
to keep track of). I have no problem reading a specific string from the
array file, but I wasn't sure how to replace just one item. I know I can get
the entire array, then save the whole thing (with a for loop and if
statements so that the changed data will be saved), but it seems like a lot
of unnecessary reading and writing. Is there a way to directly save...

I don't have a code to show you, what I need are references or

By the way, thanks for introducing me the array or arrays. Now I can

Okay, this if my first post so go easy on me plus I've only been using
C for a couple of weeks. I'm working on a program currently that
requires me to read data from a .dat file into a 2d array and then
print out the contents of the 2d array to the screen. I wil also need
to append data to the .dat file but mostly right now I'm worrying about
getting the info into the 2d array. My .dat file looks like this

Is there a class in the framework that allows me read text from a file
in an unbuffered manner? That is, I'd like to be able to read lines in
the same manner as StreamReader.ReadLine(), but I also need to be able
to accurately get the position in the file of that line. Since
StreamReader and FileStream both buffer data, you can't equate the
BaseStream.Position with the data you're reading from the stream.

I am new to C language.I want to read integers from a text file and
want to do some operation in the main program.To be more specific I
need to multiply each of these integers with another set of integers
stored in an array.It would be a great help if you could provide some
code for it.I tried the function fscanf but by that I am able to read
only the first integer of the text file.Please help me.
