Im not sure whats wrong wth the code

//constants
#include <stdio.h>

	if(fp == NULL)
	{

	}



	while (fscanf(fp, "%d" , &numberInSet) != EOF)
	{
		printf("The results from file dat1.dat are: /n");
		printf("--------------------------------------- /n");
		printf("| # of data | Sum  |   Range    | Mean   | variance  | standard deviation | /n");

	}
	
	//calculations
	//bring the numbers from the file copy it to the arrays and store it. then
	//close the file and calculate all the rest

	getchar();
	return EXIT_SUCCESS;

I know i havent worked on the calculations yet but i asked the compiler to bring a file from a place but that file name Which is one.dat, compiler cant seem to find it or something cause its unidentified.

Are you saying that it fails to open one.dat? Is that network resource accessible from your computer? Can you take that very path and navigate to it in your OS?

[mattkeem]

the one.dat, "one" part is highlighted in red

I take it you are using visual studio?

What is the error message?

[Demon-Mask]

Are you certain you have the file in the location you are trying to open it from?
Furthermore, it would help if you said what the error message says, as I cannot solve a problem when I don't quite understand what the problem is.

at first I thought it was the fopen command where it was failing... it isn't.... the problem is this line:
fgets(one.dat, RANDOM, stdin);

you need to look at the documentation for fgets... I'm quite certain that the first value isn't correct... I think it's supposed to be the stream to the file... in this case ,that's fp ....


wait.... wait.... ughnrgh..... you're using one.dat like it means something.... you've used it in the strncpy and other places... it doesn't work like that... one.dat is just a name of a file... it has no meaning to the code.

in addition, some of your logic doesn't make sense... you're opening a file on the network... if it can't you're doing a string copy... if it can, you're then asking them for the file to open? whaaa? The nyou try to open that file with the same file pointer as the first one with out first closing the original file pointer?
