Explain fgetc() and fputc() functions in C language
File is collection of records or is a place on hard disk, where data is stored permanently.
Operations on files
The operations on files in C programming language are as follows −
- Naming the file
- Opening the file
- Reading from the file
- Writing into the file
- Closing the file
Syntax
The syntax for opening a file is as follows −
FILE *File pointer;
For example, FILE * fptr;
The syntax for naming a file is as follows −
File pointer = fopen ("File name", "mode");
For example,
fptr = fopen ("sample.txt", "r"); FILE *fp; fp = fopen ("sample.txt", "w");
fgets( ) and fputs( ) functions
fgets( ) is used for reading a string from a file.
The syntax for fgets() function is as follows −
fgets (string variable, No. of characters, File pointer);
For example,
FILE *fp; char str [30]; fgets (str,30,fp);
fputs( ) function is used for writing a string into a file.
The syntax for fputs() function is as follows −
fputs (string variable, file pointer);
For example,
FILE *fp; char str[30]; fputs (str,fp);
Program
Following is the C program for using fgets() and fputs() functions −
#include <stdio.h> int main(){ FILE *fptr = fopen("sample.txt","w"); fputs("TutorialPoints
",fptr); fputs("C programming
",fptr); fputs("Question & Answers",fptr); fclose(fptr); fptr = fopen("sample.txt","r"); char string[30]; while(fgets(string,30,fptr)!=NULL){ printf("%s",string); } fclose(fptr); return 0; }
Output
When the above program is executed, it produces the following result −
