reading file

[chimpy]

hi
i am new to c++, i want a user to enter an integer then the program to open a file and search the file for this int, if it doesn't find it, it tells the user so and then carries on, if it does find it then it asks the user to try another int and then searches again from the begining of the file etc..

thanks for any help.

FILE *file;

file = fopen("c:\\path\\filename", "rb"
if(file == NULL)
{
cant open file
}

while(!feof(file))
{
unsigned char c = fgetc(file);
if(c == users number)
found it
}

Hope that helps. If you want more code then post a reply.
