Question

Stupid question, but I am panicking.
How would I go about reading characters from a text file (including spaces) and storing them in a 2D array.

I know I need to use something involving (say I have a 2D array file[50][50])

while ((ch = fgetc(fp)) != EOF);

file[50][50] = characterWithinFile

Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I (surprisingly) know what I need to do after this point. Thanks

Answer 1

here is some code that can help you

#include <stdio.h>
void main()
{
FILE *fopen(), *fp;
char c;
int i=0,j=0;
char file[50][50];
fp = fopen("file.txt","r");
c = getc(fp) ;
while (c!= EOF)
{
file[i][j]=c;

    j++;
    c = getc(fp);

    if(j==50){
    i++;
    j=0;
    }
}
fclose(fp);
}

and please choose a higher number than 50 if your text is more than 2500 characters !
