reading file into variable

[iwuvc]

Well I want to be able to read a text file into a variable. I have made something that writes a text file. Pretty much here's a not so good example, and yeah.. I dont feal like writing correct syntax but you get the idea.
ex.
dud = fopen("hi.txt");
//unsure how to do this properly.
if (dud == 1) {
printf("woot\n");
}
else {
printf("failure\n");
}

Determine the file size, perhaps by using [tt]stat[/tt] or [tt]fstat[/tt]. Or maybe by opening the file in binary mode, [tt]fseek[/tt]ing to the end and [tt]ftell[/tt]ing the location.

Then [tt]malloc[/tt] that many [tt]char[/tt]s, open the file in text mode, and [tt]fread[/tt] the whole file.

I dont feal like writing correct syntax but you get the idea.
