[electromania]

I'm writing this function which can read a file in the format of
1999 24324938
2000 59469955
2001 68478498
2002 73547547
2003 86796079

store each column in a separate array so I can use them later for some mathematical formula.
so far I've written this much, and dont know where to take it from here

int ReadFile(void)
{

FILE *fp; /* create a file pointer that will reference your text file*/
char buf[80]; /* what I read into*/
int n1, n2; /* reading two numbers */
char filename;

fp = fopen("input.tx t", "r"); /* open up the file you're looking for*/

if (fp == NULL) /* problem opening the file*/
return(1); /*quit*/

while (fgets(buf, 80, fp) != NULL && !feof(fp)) /* keep reading till i reach the end*/

{
sscanf(buf, "%d %d", &n1, &n2); /* buf is one line of the input file which contained two columns, so read in each var*/
printf("n1 = %d n2 = %d\n", n1, n2); /* print the results to stdout*/
}

fclose(fp);
}


Any help would be appreciated.

So, do you see the expected results when you printf() n1 and n2?

If so, then you just need to store these values in an array.

Yes i do see the results in n1 and n2, but i'm not sure how to store them in an array. Can you show me how? maybe an examples?

Using arrays is covered in any C or C++ textbook.
