fscanf() function in c programming is used to read input from a file. 

Well this function works same as the scanf() function in c programming but instead of read the given input in c program fscanf() function read the data from file.

Most of the arguments of fscanf() function in c are same as scanf() function.

•  Return Value For fscanf() function program in c:-

This function return the number of value and complete the read operation or return the end of file EOF and -1 on error occurred.

 

Example program for fscanf() function in c

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{
    FILE *f;
    char Name[50];
    int roll_num, chars;
    float mark;

    fp = fopen("records.txt", "r");

    if(f == NULL)
    {
        printf("Error opening file\n");
        exit(1);
    }

    printf("Testing fscanf() function: \n\n");
    printf("Name:\t\tRoll\t\tMarks\n");

    while( fscanf(f, "Name: %s\t\tRoll num: %d\t\tMarks: %f\n"
                    , Name, &roll_num, &mark) != EOF )
    {
        printf("%s\t\t%d\t\t%.2f\n", name, roll_no ,marks);
    }

    fclose(f);
    return 0;
}

{
	FILE *fr;
	char str[100];

	if((f=fopen("help.txt","r"))==NULL){
		printf("Cannot open the file...");
		//file is not exist program is terminated
		exit(1);
	}

	// Check if here is some error in the file
	if(ferror(f))
		printf("print the Error to read the file\n");
	else	
		printf("No error\n");

	printf("File content is--\n");
	//print the strings until EOF is encountered
	while(!feof(fr)){
		fgets(str,100,fr);
		//print the string
		printf("%s",str);
	}

	//remember to close the opened file
	fclose(f);

System() function program in c

 In System library function in c use the command int system(const char *command) name or program name to the host environment and also executed command processor and returns the command after complete the task that is given in the c program.

 Parameters For System() function program in c :

Command:-  This string in c program containing the name of requested variable.  

 

Return the status of the command at the success and  returned is -1 on error.

 

Example:-

#include <iostream>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

int main () {
   char command[50];

   strcpy( command, "-l" );
   system(command);

   return(0);
}

Example:-

This function list down the dir file with the help of c program

fput() program in C programming language

 fput() function in c programming is a file string function which is used to print a string to the file.

fput() function use two arguments pointer one of them is used for string and other one for file. 

A null terminated string pointed by str in to a file.A null character is not written into a given and at the time of success it returns the 0 and  EOF or -1.

fput() program in c language : -

#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>

int main()
{
    char str[50];
    FILE *fp;
    fp = fopen("yourfile2.txt", "w");

    if(fp == NULL)
    {
        printf("Error for opening file\n");
        exit(1);
    }

    printf("Testing with the help of fputs() function: \n\n");
    printf("To stop reading press Ctrl+Z in windows and Ctrl+D in Linux :");

    while( gets(str) != NULL )
    {
        fputs(str, fp);
    }

    fclose(fp);
    return 0;
}

bsearch function program in c programming language

 bsearch function program in c language

bsearch function in c used to perform the search in the array and array will be sorted by the ascending order.

 A pointer will be used to sorted the array and the base point to the initial element for the given array and the key pointed to the object that containing the value that going to be sorted with the comparison function.

Return value for the bsearch program:-

If search goes successful, bsearch() returns a pointer to an identical element of the array. If two or more elements are equal, the element pointed to that it is not  specified.

If search goes unsuccessful finding the key, bsearch() returns NULL.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <assert.h>
 
#define NOSTRING 5
#define SIZE 26
 
int string_compare(void const *, void const *);
 
int main(void)
{
    int i;
    char strings[NOSTRING][SIZE];
    char search_str[SIZE];
    char *status;
 
    /* read strings from the user */
    printf("User, write in %d character strings...\n", NOSTRING);
    for (i= 0; i < NOSTRINGS; i++)
        fgets(strings[i], SIZE, stdin);
 
    printf("\n\n");
 
    /* display array of unsorted strings */
    printf("Before Sorting:\n");
    for (i = 0; i < NOSTRING; i++)
        fputs(strings[i], stdout);
 
    /* sort the array */
    qsort(strings, NOSTRING, SIZE, string_compare);
    printf("\n");
 
    /* array of sorted strings */
    printf("After Sorting:\n");
    for (i = 0; i < NOSTRING; i++)
        printf(strings[i], stdout);
 
    printf("\n\n");
 
    /* read the string to be searched for */
    printf("programer write about string you wish to search for...\n");
    fgets(search_str, SIZE, stdin);
    printf("\n");
 
    /* calling bsearch() to locate given string in the array */
    status = bsearch(search_str, strings, NOSTRINGS, SIZE, 
                       string_compare);
 
    /* verify if given value is found */
    assert(status != NULL);
    printf("your desired string is found!\n");
 
    return 0;
}

Strcspn function in c with example program

 Strcspn in c

Strcspn function in c programming use to find the first character in the given string that is equal to the character of the other string.

 

 Strcspn function in c with example program

 

 

Null characters are not included in this string search. 

 

strcspn function also know the end of the string with the null character (/0) 

 

This function return the index of the first character in the string.

 

Example

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
 
#define SIZE 40
 
int main(void)
{
  char string[SIZE] = "source string";
  char * substring = "alax";
 
  printf( "The first %i characters in the string \"%s\" "
          "are not in the string \"%s\" \n",
            strcspn(string, substring), string, substring);
 
}

OUTPUT

the first 10 character from string1("source string") are not in the given sting2 ("alax")
