Okay here are a few pointers:

1. Use int main( ) not just main( ) and append a return 0 stmt at the end of main( ).

2. Dont hard code the file names in the function, its not a good practice. Just keep the file name in a constant array of characters.

3. I am not sure on this one, but, dont use \\ in your file paths, it is not cross platform complaint. Use forward slashes instead ( / ).

4. After opening the files do check whether the operation is successful, it is a good practice.

 c Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
FILE* fp ;
if( ( fp = fopen( "a.txt", "r" ) ) == NULL )
{
     fputs( "file opening failed", stderr ) ;
     exit( 1 ) ;
}
FILE* fp ;
if( ( fp = fopen( "a.txt", "r" ) ) == NULL )
{
     fputs( "file opening failed", stderr ) ;
     exit( 1 ) ;
}

5. fscanf( ) normally returns the number of items scanned and in the case of error a NULL is returned.

I don't accept change. I don't deserve to live.

Happiness corrupts people.

Failing to value the lives of others cheapens your own.
