How can I access txt file in C?

Question

I tried to access a file in C by using fopen but it is not working for me.

Answer 1

Can you share the code you used? See here how it's supposed to work.

Answer 2

I think you may have used the wrong function.

You should use freopen.

It takes three parameters: the file name as a string literal, what you want to do to the file, and the stream.

You can find more specific documentation here: https://cplusplus.com/reference/cstdio/freopen/

For example, if you want to read input from a file called a.in:

freopen("a.in", "r", stdin);
