Open file with user input (string) - C

Question

I\'m trying to figure out how user input can be used as a filename in C. Here\'s the simple program I wrote.

#include 
#define MAX 100

int main()         


        

Answer 1

You have to add ".txt" extension and then it will work.
The following program opens a txt file in the same directory as the name of the following date:

#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
int main()
{
    char a[1000000],s[20];
    strcpy(s,__DATE__);
    int i,j,k,l;
    strcat(s,".txt");
    printf("%s",s);
    FILE *f,*ff;
    f=fopen(s,"w");
}

Answer 2

here's a function that you'll have to add after the fgets to slove this problem

void newlineRemover(char *array)
{
    int i , lenght ;
    lenght = strlen(array);
    for(i = 0 ; i < lenght ; i++)
     {
        if(array[i] == '\n')
            array[i] = '\0' ;
     }
}

Answer 3

fgets retains the newline in the input.
