Hi i got this progamm working fine
it is supposed to read a comma delimited text file store as an array and the output a formatted version
The problem is its outputting something really weird I dont know why.
The text file it is supposed to read
Darwin,3,33
Darwin,1,11
Darwin,6,66
Darwin,4,44
Darwin,5,55
Brisbane,2,222
Brisbane,1,111
Brisbane,6,666
Brisbane,3,333
Sydney,1,101
Sydney,2,202
Sydney,3,303
Sydney,6,606
Sydney,5,505
Sydney,4,404
Perth,3,313
Perth,4,414
Perth,5,515THE CODE
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main()
{
char *fname,*str,ch,cityname[5][12];
int monthnum,rainfall,pos,monthvalues[5][6],flag,i,j,cpos,npos=0,count=0;
FILE *fp; //File Pointer
fp=fopen("CityRain.txt","r+");
if(fp==NULL)
{
printf("Cannot input file\n");
getch();
return 0;
}
for(i=0;i<5;i++)
strcpy(cityname[i],"");
for(i=0;i<5;i++)
for(j=0;j<6;j++)
monthvalues[i][j]=0;
while(!feof(fp))
{
pos=0;
flag=1;
str = (char* ) malloc(12 * sizeof(char) ); //dynamic memory allocation
while(flag)
{
fscanf(fp,"%c",&ch);
// ch=fgetc(fp);
if(ch==',')
{
flag=0;
}
else
{
str[pos]=ch;
pos++;
}
}
cpos=-1;
for(i=0;i<5;i++)
{
if(strcmp(str,cityname[i])==0)
cpos=i;
}
if(cpos==-1)
{
strcpy(cityname[npos],str);
npos++;
}
fscanf(fp,"%d",&monthnum);
fscanf(fp,"%c",&ch);
fscanf(fp,"%d",&rainfall);
if(npos==1 || npos==2)
monthvalues[1][monthnum-1]=rainfall;
else
monthvalues[npos-1][monthnum-1]=rainfall;
count++;
}
printf("City Jan Feb Mar Apr Jun\n");
for(i=1;i<5;i++)
{
printf("%s\t",cityname[i]);
if(i!=2)printf("\t");
for(j=0;j<6;j++)
printf("%d\t",monthvalues[i][j]);
printf("\n");
}
getch();
return 0;
}Am supposed to get a better looking output
But this is what I get
OUTPUT
City Jan Feb Mar Apr Jun
