reading a file with full directory entry

[kshk]

how can i read a file from any specified directory? at present i can only read files that r in the same directory as the .exe

If you know the directory you want to use, then supply
the full path of the file to your code eg
FILE *ffp
ffp== fopen("/data/inbox/myfile", "w"

dickiebird has added an extra = in his code snippet, == will be an equate test not an assignment of the return code from the fopen call to the ffp variable.

He should have written

ffp=fopen("/data/inbox/myfile","r"


or event

if((ffp=fopen("/data/inbox/myfile","r&quot)==NULL)
{
/* Handle file missing */
}
else
{
/* Handle file present */
}

Cheers
