Read from file

[ecannizzo]

I have a file I'm opening. This info looks like this:

123 725
205 115

and so on. There is a space between the two numbers. When I use fscanf I get the first number, but I get a negative # for the second number. But if I try to store the space I still get a negative #. This is that part of the code:

status = fscanf(inp, "%d%d", &CustNumb, &KWHUsedForCust);

CustNumb is always right, but KWHUsedForCust is a negative #.

Can anyone help?

Thanks!

Hello,

Since fscanf works similar to scanf, your code should have a space between the two "%d", like this:

status = fscanf(inp, "%d %d", &CustNumb, &KWHUsedForCust);

Also, status should be checked to see that it is ok.

if (status == 2)
...do something

Im not sure if you have that in the code and didn't include it, but you could do something like this if it is reading in as a loop,

while ((fscanf(inp, "%d %d", &CustNumb, &KWHUsedForCust)) == 2)
...do stuff

Hope that helps.
