}

following are the error messages when i compile.

error: ‘fopen_s’ was not declared in this scope

error: ‘AfxMessageBox’ was not declared in this scope

error: ‘sscanf_s’ was not declared in this scope

anyhelp would be greatly appreciated.

    The fopen_s and sscanf_s functions are Microsoft-specific extensions to the C standard library that are less error-prone (dangerous) than the ones that are present by default.

    If you are compiling on a non-Microsoft platform, then you will need to find a custom implementation of these functions. I don’t believe that gcc or g++ have their own versions of these functions.

    If you are compiling on a Microsoft platform, then you may need to upgrade to a newer version of Visual Studio.
