Problem

Write a program that asks the user to input a file name. The program opens that file in read mode and displays it content on the screen. Use fgets function.

Solution - Code

#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
int main ()
{
char a[10],a1[10],ch;
FILE *fp,*ft;

printf ("Enter file name : ");
gets (a);

fp = fopen (a,"r");

if (fp == NULL)
{
printf ("Not found");
exit (0);
}

while (1)
{
ch = fgetc(fp);
if ( ch == EOF )
break;
printf ("%c",ch);
}

printf ("\n");
system("pause");
}
