Expand Post »

I want to rename file with name of ip address like (192.168.1.55.txt)
In xyz.txt file have ip address.
I m finding this ip address but rename giving problem???

c Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
#include <stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
 
int main ()
{
      int result;
      char ipadd[20];
      FILE *pFile;;
           pFile = fopen ("xyz.txt" , "r");
           fseek(pFile,172,SEEK_SET); 
           fgets (ipadd , 16 , pFile);
 
           printf("Before Rename");
           printf("%s",ipadd);         // it gives ip address in xyz.txt
           char oldname[] ="xyz.txt";
 
      result= rename( oldname , ipadd ); //problem is here
      if ( result == 0 )
      puts ( "File successfully renamed" );
      else
      perror( "Error renaming file" );
      fclose (pFile);
   getch();
}
#include <stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>

int main ()
{
      int result;
      char ipadd[20];
      FILE *pFile;;
           pFile = fopen ("xyz.txt" , "r");
           fseek(pFile,172,SEEK_SET); 
           fgets (ipadd , 16 , pFile);
                   
           printf("Before Rename");
           printf("%s",ipadd);         // it gives ip address in xyz.txt
           char oldname[] ="xyz.txt";
                 
      result= rename( oldname , ipadd ); //problem is here
      if ( result == 0 )
      puts ( "File successfully renamed" );
      else
      perror( "Error renaming file" );
      fclose (pFile);
   getch();
}

This gives OutPut:->
Before Rename 192.168.1.55
Error renaming file: Permission denied

How to solve this problem ??

Re: Problem in Renaming of file???

The file is still open. Close it first before trying to rename it. Move line 22 up to about line 16

Re: Problem in Renaming of file???

what version of MS-Windows are you running? Use Windows Explorer to see if it will rename the file to that ip address.

Re: Problem in Renaming of file???

fgets() add the '\n' to the end of the string if it exists in the file. So you need to strip it off before calling rename().

C Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
 fgets (ipadd , 16 , pFile);
if( ipadd[strlen(ipadd)-1] == '\n')
    ipadd[strlen(ipadd)-1] = 0;
 fgets (ipadd , 16 , pFile);
if( ipadd[strlen(ipadd)-1] == '\n')
    ipadd[strlen(ipadd)-1] = 0;

Re: Problem in Renaming of file???

fseek is causing the problem.

Make sure to return a value from main.
Also, learn how to use code tags - the yellow background behind your code.

Edit - fseek is probably causing the problem. Your code works fine if you create a new text file
and comment it out.

By printing ipadd it gives 192.168.1.55

char abc[]="192.168.1.55";
