Hi friends,
I have written a C program which involves some iterations of numbers that I input in a table.
>> Now I want to know how to import these values say from excel or some text instead of me inputtin them....
Any suggestion wil bw very helpful.
Thanks and Regards,'
Arun

Well, for one thing importing from an Excel file is not as easy as it may sound. You must write a parser (or find one) that grabs the data, and it quickly turns into an icky mess for anyone unexperienced with C/C++.
If you have the numbers in a regular ASCII text file, your job is much simpler -- just use fopen/fclose and fgets to handle your input. By the way, you might be interested in a C input tutorial:

Ur suggestion wil b of great help....

@ WALP,
Thx for ur suggestion.....but the code that I typed seems to be already formatted above in a better way...dont no who did that but is that readable now??
Thanks and REgards,

@ WALP,

It does? Try actually reading the link I posted and look at your 'readable' code...
dont no who did that but is that readable now??
SOS did it, and no it's not readable.
Arun, you need to properly format your code. Something like this:
void read_data()
{
int i,j,any;
char yesno;
char fname[15];
FILE *fp;
clrscr();
gotoxy(10,10);
printf("Data available in disk file Y/N ");
scanf("%c", &yesno);
if(toupper(yesno)=='Y')
{
clrscr();
gotoxy(10,10);
printf("File name to read data ");
scanf("%s",fname);
fp=fopen(fname,"r");
clrscr();
fscanf(fp,"%d",&any);
for(i=1;i<=n;i++)
for(j=1;j=n;j++)
{
fscanf(fp,"%d",&any);
x[i] [j]=any;
}
}
else
{
clrscr();
gotoxy(10,3);
printf("Size of the matrix");
scanf("%d",&n);
printf("\nEnter the matrix\n");
for(i=1;i<=n;i++)
for(j=1;j<=n;j++)
{
scanf("%d",&any);
x[i][j]=any;
}
clrscr();
gotoxy(10,10);
getchar();
printf("Store data in disk file Y/N");
scanf("%c",&yesno);
if(toupper(yesno)=='Y')
{
gotoxy(10,12);
printf("File name to store data");
scanf("%s",fname);
fp=fopen(fname,"w");
fprintf(fp,"%3d",n);
for(i=1;i<=n;i++)
{
fprintf(fp,"\n");
for(j=1;j<=n;j++)
fprintf(fp,"%5d",x[i][j]);
}
}
}
for(i=1;i<=n;i++)
for(j=1;j<=n;j++)
y[i][j];
}Now compare the code posted by me with the code you posted. Isn't the difference obvious ?
thx SOS and WALTP....sorry tht my code typin caused a lot of hardship... is it ok now??

Arun
