I have the following code to write to a file...
Input of variable is done by:
data_f=fopen("input", "a");
fprintf(data_f, "%s\n", var1);
Now I'm trying to read this file, using fopen("input","r");
The problem is, I can't seem to get a handle on detecting the eof char...
so as to be able to printf correctly. Any suggestions on how to write the
file so that an EOF char is written on the file, so that I can read the
EOF correctly?
The machine is Unix 5.5 Thanks!
