Problems with FILE pointers

[bluesteel]

Hi everyone! I am currently experiencing some problems... My program crashes when i open a file which does exist. The problem seems to happen when two pointers point at the same file. Could it be the reason why my program's crashing?

Paul. Thanks a lot.

Hi,.
Is the program crashing during opening the file or during any file operations when u do with the file pointer.
Usuallu fopen wont crash.
After opening the file check for NULL and then do the file operations.

Hi.
It is the reason of program crashing, because when you assign your pointer with file, using fopen() system closes previous connection to this file. So when you try to use it later, you get crash.

........
f1=fopen();
f2=fopen();//after this f1 points to nowhere
