File Handling in C - Removing specific words from a list in text file

Question

I am populating a short dictionary from my basic C program using the following code :

void main () {

FILE *fp;

fp = fopen(\"c:\\\\CTEMP\\\\Dictionary2.txt\", \         


        

Answer 1

I used the following code :

printf("Enter file name: ");
        scanf("%s", filename);
        //open file in read mode
        fileptr1 = fopen("c:\\CTEMP\\Dictionary.txt", "r");
        ch = getc(fileptr1);
        while (ch != EOF)
        {
            printf("%c", ch);
            ch = getc(fileptr1);
        }
        //rewind
        rewind(fileptr1);
        printf(" \n Enter line number of the line to be deleted:");
        scanf("%d", &delete_line);
        //open new file in write mode
        fileptr2 = fopen("replica.c", "w");
        ch = getc(fileptr1);
        while (ch != EOF)
        {
            ch = getc(fileptr1);
            if (ch == '\n')
            {
                temp++;
            }
            //except the line to be deleted
            if (temp != delete_line)
            {
                //copy all lines in file replica.c
                putc(ch, fileptr2);
            }
        }
        fclose(fileptr1);
        fclose(fileptr2);
        remove("c:\\CTEMP\\Dictionary.txt");
        //rename the file replica.c to original name
        rename("replica.c", "c:\\CTEMP\\Dictionary.txt");
        printf("\n The contents of file after being modified are as follows:\n");
        fileptr1 = fopen("c:\\CTEMP\\Dictionary.txt", "r");
        ch = getc(fileptr1);
        while (ch != EOF)
        {
            printf("%c", ch);
            ch = getc(fileptr1);
        }
        fclose(fileptr1);
        scanf_s("%d");
        return 0;

    }
