Question

i have a char matrix like below

char files[4][10];

And in the matrix these char arrays are hold.

file1.txt
file2.txt
file3.txt
file4.txt

when i try to use fopen with this matrix,i can not open the file.My code is this:

    FILE *file;

    file = fopen(files[0],"rb");

    if(file == NULL){
       printf("cannot open");
    }
    else printf("opened");

this code gives the output:cannot open.Where im doing wrong?

Answer 1

Two things would come to mind:

• file1.txt is not available in the directory you call the executable
• You do not show how you initialize your files array. Might be that you are not 0 terminating the string.
