How can I read from a file having numbers seperated by "\n" in C

Question

I am writing a program on Cash Management System and I'm stuck with file handling. Its a long program broken into short pieces by using Functions.

The problem is that I am creating a file which will keep the record of reciept cash, I'm suceesfull in storing the data and the file has been created by using these codes & now i want to read the data of the file using functions in C

#include<fstream.h>
#include<iostream.h>
#include<graphics.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include<stdio.h>
void main()
{
 unsigned long long amt=0;
 char ch;
 do
 {
  clrscr();
  int c=0,i=0,gd=DETECT, gm, x=10, y=52, font = 8;
  initgraph(&gd,&gm,"C:\\TC\\BGI");
  settextstyle(font, HORIZ_DIR, 1);
  for (i=0;i<158;i++)
  {
   printf("_");
  }
  outtextxy(x, y, "The amount of Cash Tendered : ");
  gotoxy(48,5);
  scanf("%llu",&amt);
  FILE *fp;
  fp=fopen("TRECIEPT.TXT","a+");
  while((c=getc(fp))!=EOF);
  fprintf(fp,"%llu",amt);
  fprintf(fp,"\n");
  cout<<"\n Do you want to enter more records: ";
  cin>>ch;
 }
 while (ch=='Y' || ch=='y');
 getch();
}

THE MAIN CODE BEING

#include<graphics.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>

static int den[9]={1000,500,100,50,20,10,5,2,1};

int ch=0;

//void exchange();

 cash_management();

What exactly is the problem you are experiencing? Your code seems to have a number of issues. — GraphicsMuncher, Apr 08 '13 at 02:55
I would like to have a total of reciept and payment file which would store all the reciepts of a particular day and calculate the total amount recieved or paid. Moreover I would like to remove the """initgraph(&gd,&gm,"C:\\TC\\BGI");""" As this code requires the C compiler to be installed. — Vipul Sonker, Apr 08 '13 at 02:58
Get rid of your conflicting definitions of `main` and properly format your code - it will make it easier for people to help you. — GraphicsMuncher, Apr 08 '13 at 03:12

<fstream.h> and <iostream.h> don't exist in C. They're old-style C++ headers. Don't use them if you're using C.

All you need is the fscanf function, part of <stdio.h>. Something like:

fscanf(fp, "%llu", &amt);

The %u formatter (or any other number-reading formatter) will eat any line ends, tabs, spaces, and other whitespace that precedes the number.

then how shall i differentiate the numbers if it will eat line ends. suppose the reciept file contains amount as:- 123456 1234567 1234567 1234567 12345678 123456789 Then how shall i get the amount and add them to get the total amount – Vipul Sonker Apr 08 '13 at 03:18
The first time you call `fscanf` you'll get 123456. The second time, you'll get 1234567, and so on. Each call gets you one number. If that's not enough, then your file doesn't contain enough information. – Mike DeSimone Apr 08 '13 at 12:38
I'm only willing to solve specific problems, not address design issues like that. – Mike DeSimone Apr 08 '13 at 12:47
Not a clue. I don't do Windows. – Mike DeSimone Apr 08 '13 at 13:55
Is there a way to go to a specific line in a file discussed above and modify the line. The total number of line in a file being only 9 and storing only one number in one line of 1 to 6 digit – Vipul Sonker Apr 08 '13 at 17:27
Not easily. Generally you recreate the whole file. – Mike DeSimone Apr 08 '13 at 20:38
