[Dev-C++] More: Reading file with getc(fp)

[rchavez <rc...@so...>]

Hi,

Thanks for the replies.  I added a check for NULL file pointer and found
that indeed it is NULL.  That explains why the same code works in unix but
not in Dev-C++.  (In my defense I took the example directly from a book.) 

So 2 new questions:

1.  If the source file & the target file to be read are in the same
directory I am using in Dev-C++, shouldn't

   fopen("filename","r") find the file?    It doesn't seem to.

2.  Is

   fopen("C:\Dev-C++\Dir1\Dir2\filename","r") a valid explict path syntax in

Windows 2000  ?        (assuming Dir1 & Dir2 already exist)

There must be a better book for re-learning C than "A Book on C" or K&R!

Regards,
Rob.
