Question

I am trying to update a binary file that has inside some of these structures:

typedef struct _test{
char question[100];
char answer[100];
}test;

At some point, I want to update one of the answers that is kept inside of a file to another answer (writing back again the answer to the file), still, everytime I update the file it will erase everything and write only the new test structure (tried in fopen with modes wb, wb+ and even wa+ and settinng the cursor with fseek but no luck).

How can I edit the file so it doesn’t wipe the entire file?

Answer 1

Use fopen("myfile.txt", "r+b").
