Hello all,
I'm trying to read in a group of letters each on a new line and have the user guess them depending on how many games they want to play. My program works fine but I've noticed while testing it that for any more attemps, fscanf just keeps the first letter even though its in a loop.
How can I get the pointer to keep moving through the file ? I thought the for loop would do this?
I googled for some answers and got suggestions for flushall() and it didn't help. Before I added the flushall() however, it wasn't even giving me a letter for the second or third game...now its stuck at r at least.
Here is my code where this is occurring:
for(i=0;i<gamesToPlay;i++)
{
//get a letter from file
fscanf(inp,"%c", &file_letter);
printf("current letter: %c", file_letter);
flushall();
//Play one game
result = PlayGuess(file_letter);
//check for win or lose
if (result == 1)
{
printf("Expect a check in the mail...\n");
}
else if (result == 0)
{printf("You lost....looser!\n\n");
}
}
//close file
fclose(inp);
return 0;
}
Thanks!
P.S. The file its reading from looks like this:
r
a
y
n
...
