i have no idea how to make a text file
abc efg
hij klm
nop qrs
to be a array such as, arr[0] to be "abc efg" arr[1] "hij kml" etc..... in C
I found following example on the web and did a minor change to meet your requirement:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
int main ( void )
{
static const char filename[] = "data.txt";
FILE *file = fopen ( filename, "r" );
int i, j;
char arra[128][128];
char line[128]; /* or other suitable maximum line size */
for(i=0; i<128; i++)
for(j=0; j<128; j++)
arra[j] = '\0';
for(i=0; i<128; i++)
line = '\0';
if ( file != NULL )
{
i=0;
while ( fgets ( line, sizeof line, file ) != NULL ) /* read a line */
{
strcpy(arra, line);
i++;
}
fclose ( file );
printf("%s", &arra[1]); /* HERE YOU COULD PRINT ARRAY ELEMENTS, LINE 2 IN THIS CASE */
}
else
{
perror ( filename ); /* why didn't the file open? */
}
return 0;
}
HTH
