Your code seems fine to me, although it gets segmentation fault when the file input2.txt doesn't exist. Good practice in C is to have some sort of guard against the failure of fopen(), for example simply:

FILE *f = fopen("input2.txt","r");

if (f)
{
    //your code
}

optionally:

FILE *f = fopen("input2.txt","r");

if (f)
{
    //your code
}
else
{
    //error indicating that file wasn't opened
}

Also a minor detail to this line:

printf("%ld    ",b[i]);

%ld is used to display long int, while b[i] is an integer and therefore %d should be used, as follows:

printf("%d    ",b[i]); 

@edit I forgot to mention that your problem migh lay in naming your file on onlinegdb. You might have made file named "input2" while your program is looking for "input2.txt".
