Opening and reading files

[HarryW]

Try something like:

FILE *fpFile;
char buffer;

// open file for reading, check the syntax because it's been a while.
fpFile = fopen(FILE_PATH_AND_NAME, "r");

// Loop through and send characters to the processor until STOP_CHARACTER is found.
// Again, check the syntax
while ((buffer = getchar(fpFile)) != STOP_CHARACTER)
{
     //Send character to processor
};

fclose(fpFile);

That code's off the top of my head and it's been a while since I wrote C code, so I expect there'll be lots of bugs
