Message: [QUOTE="fmsguy06, post: 3672713, member: 52366"] Hello to all. I am trying to read from a file into an array. I am trying to use the first integer of the file as the size of the array. int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int numberOfChar; FILE *fp; fp=fopen("test.txt", "rb"); if (fscanf(fp, "%d", &numberOfChar) == 1) printf("%d\n", numberOfChar); int x[numberOfChar]; int s; for (s = 0; s < numberOfChar; s++) { fscanf(*fp, &x[s]); } return 0; } But I get the errors: Type error in argument 1 to 'fscanf'; found 'FILE', expected 'FILE *'. Type error in argument 2 to 'fscanf'; found 'int *', expected 'const char *'. both pointing to the: fscanf(*fp, &x[s]); Line. Is my logic completely wrong? I thank you in advance![/s][/s] [/QUOTE]
