opening website

[Umesh]

how to open a website like yahoo.com and use it as input? The
following code doesn't work.

#include"stdio.h"
int main()
{

FILE *f;
f=fopen("http://www.yahoo.com","r");
if(f==NULL)
puts("Error opening file");
return 0;
}

The standard C language and library don't provide a way. I
suggest that you look for an implementation-specific solution in
a newsgroup specific to your environment.

#include"stdio.h"

int main()

It's better to write function declarations in prototype form:
int main(void)

{

FILE *f;
f=fopen("http://www.yahoo.com","r");
if(f==NULL)
puts("Error opening file");

Normally this function call would have indentation beyond that of
the if statement..

The c itself do not support opetations to network.It relay on platform
you used.

fopen is for opening a file stream, not a network connection.
Opening network connections is not topical here, try comp.unix.programmer.

if(f==NULL)
puts("Error opening file");

fputs(stderr, "Error opening file");

error messages should go to stderr, not stdout

return 0;
}

The standard says very little about how file names are interpreted.
An implementation could easily support URLs as file names. (I know of
none that do so.)

try using 'wput' . See man page for more info, or mail help to

hagen (at) itooktheredpill.dyndns.org

He might help you in this regards,

Umesh's implementation apparently doesn't either.

There is no wput function in C. Please learn C before trying to teach
it.

 

[Christopher Benson-Manica]

wput is non-standard. I don't object to the mention, I do object
to not so-identifying it.

It also doesn't seem to be ubiquitous enough to merely refer a
potential user to the man page.

May I automatically open a web page and save it as a text file to c:
\1.txt and then email it through outlook? Which language should I use?
Please guide me. Thank you in anticipation.
