  2. C Program DesignC File Processing Files and Streams

  3. Files and Streams • Files • Physical entities being able to source and/or sink data, e.g., named disk files, con, prn, com1, com2, … • Each file ends with an end-of-file (EOF) marker, or ends at a specified byte number • Streams • Provide communication channel between files and programs • Created with a file is opened

  4. stdin, stdout, stderr • Three files and their associated steams are automaticallyopened when program execution begins. • stdin - standard input (keyboard) • stdout - standard output (screen) • stderr - standard error (screen) FILE *

  5. Read/Write Functions in stdio.h • fgetc • Reads one character from a file • Takes a FILE* as an argument • fgetc( stdin )getchar() • fputc • Writes one character to a file • Takes a FILE* and a character to write as an argument • fputc( 'a', stdout )putchar( 'a' ) • fgets • Reads a line from a file • fputs • Writes a line to a file • fscanf / fprintf • File processing equivalents of scanf and printf

  6. Example: fprintf, fscanf /* AddTwoInts.c Addition program */ #include <stdio.h> /* function main begins program execution */ main() { int integer1; /* first number to be input by user */ int integer2; /* second number to be input by user */ int sum; /* variable in which sum will be stored */ printf( "Enter first integer\n" ); /* prompt */ scanf( "%d", &integer1 ); /* read an integer */ printf( "Enter second integer\n" ); /* prompt */ scanf( "%d", &integer2 ); /* read an integer */ sum = integer1 + integer2; /* assign total to sum */ printf( "Sum is %d\n", sum ); /* print sum */ } /* end function main */

  7. Example: fprintf, fscanf /* AddTwoInts.c Addition program */ #include <stdio.h> /* function main begins program execution */ main() { int integer1; /* first number to be input by user */ int integer2; /* second number to be input by user */ int sum; /* variable in which sum will be stored */ printf( "Enter first integer\n" ); /* prompt */ scanf( "%d", &integer1 ); /* read an integer */ printf( "Enter second integer\n" ); /* prompt */ scanf( "%d", &integer2 ); /* read an integer */ sum = integer1 + integer2; /* assign total to sum */ printf( "Sum is %d\n", sum ); /* print sum */ } /* end function main */ fprintf( stdout, "Enter first integer\n" ); /* prompt */ fscanf( stdin, "%d", &integer1 ); /* read an integer */ fprintf( stdout, "Enter second integer\n" ); /* prompt */ fscanf( stdin, "%d", &integer2 ); /* read an integer */ fprintf( stdout, "Sum is %d\n", sum ); /* print sum */

  8. Example: fgetc, fputc /* uppercase typewriter */ #include <stdio.h> main() { char c; do { c = getchar(); if(c >= 'a' && c <= 'z') c = c - 'a' + 'A'; putchar(c); } while (c != EOF); }

  9. Example: fgetc, fputc /* uppercase typewriter */ #include <stdio.h> main() { char c; do { c = getchar(); if(c >= 'a' && c <= 'z') c = c - 'a' + 'A'; putchar(c); } while (c != EOF); } /* uppercase typewriter */ #include <stdio.h> main() { char c; do { c = fgetc( stdin ); if(c >= 'a' && c <= 'z') c = c - 'a' + 'A'; fput( c, stdout ); } while (c != EOF); } 

  10. C Program DesignC File Processing Creating a Sequential-Access File

  11. Files in C • C imposes no file structure • No notion of records in a file • Programmer must provide file structure

  12. General Procedure for Access a File • Open a file (new or old) • fopen(): returns a FILE* on success • Store the return value for operation • Do something on the file • Read/write on a FILE* • Close the file • fclose(FILE*)

  13. Some File Operation Functions

  14. Open a File FILE *fopen(const char *filename, const char *mode);

  15. Open a File filename FILE *fopen(const char *filename, const char *mode); • Filename can be an absolute one or a relative one, e.g., • absolute • "c:\\learn-c\\lecture1\\myfile.dat" • - relative (assume working directory is c:\\learn-c) • "\\lecture1\\myfile.dat" • - relative (assume working directory is c:\learn-c\lecture1) • "myfile.dat"

  16. "r" "rb" "r+" "rb+" "w" "wb" "w+" "wb+" "a" "ab" "a+" "ab+" Open a File mode FILE *fopen(const char *filename, const char *mode); Mode indicating characters r: read w: write a: append +: update b: binary mode is string which a combination of mode indicating characters, e.g.,

  17. "r" "rb" "r+" "rb+" "w" "wb" "w+" "wb+" "a" "ab" "a+" "ab+" Open a File mode FILE *fopen(const char *filename, const char *mode); Mode indicating characters r: read w: write a: append +: update b: binary mode is string which a combination of mode indicating characters, e.g.,

  18. Open a File • Programs may process no files, one file, or many files • Each file must have a unique name and should have its own pointer FILE *fopen(const char *filename, const char *mode);

  19. Create a File FILE *fopen(const char *filename, const char *mode); Example: FILE *fp; //save for later use fp = fopen("clients.dat","w"); "w" Return NULL if open fails

  20. #include <stdio.h> int main( void ) { int account; /* account number */ char name[ 30 ]; /* account name */ double balance; /* account balance */ FILE *fp; /* fp = clients.dat file pointer */ /* fopen opens file. Exit program if unable to create file */ fp = fopen( "clients.dat", "w" ); if ( fp == NULL ){ printf( "File could not be opened\n" ); return 0; } printf( "Enter the account, name, and balance.\n" ); printf( "Enter EOF to end input.\n" ); printf( "? " ); scanf( "%d%s%lf", &account, name, &balance ); /* write account, name and balance into file with fprintf */ while ( !feof( stdin ) ) { fprintf( fp, "%d %s %.2f\n", account, name, balance ); printf( "? " ); scanf( "%d%s%lf", &account, name, &balance ); } /* end while */ fclose( fp ); /* fclose closes file */ return 0; /* indicates successful termination */ } /* end main */ Example

  21. #include <stdio.h> int main( void ) { int account; /* account number */ char name[ 30 ]; /* account name */ double balance; /* account balance */ FILE *fp; /* fp = clients.dat file pointer */ /* fopen opens file. Exit program if unable to create file */ fp = fopen( "clients.dat", "w" ); if ( fp == NULL ){ printf( "File could not be opened\n" ); return 0; } printf( "Enter the account, name, and balance.\n" ); printf( "Enter EOF to end input.\n" ); printf( "? " ); scanf( "%d%s%lf", &account, name, &balance ); /* write account, name and balance into file with fprintf */ while ( !feof( stdin ) ) { fprintf( fp, "%d %s %.2f\n", account, name, balance ); printf( "? " ); scanf( "%d%s%lf", &account, name, &balance ); } /* end while */ fclose( fp ); /* fclose closes file */ return 0; /* indicates successful termination */ } /* end main */ Example

  23. Open a Read Only File FILE *fopen(const char *filename, const char *mode); Example: FILE *fp; //save for later use fp = fopen("clients.dat","r"); "r" Return NULL if open fails

  24. #include <stdio.h> int main( void ) { int account; /* account number */ char name[ 30 ]; /* account name */ double balance; /* account balance */ FILE *fp; /* fp = clients.dat file pointer */ /* fopen opens file; exits program if file cannot be opened */ fp = fopen( "clients.dat", "r" ); if ( fp == NULL ) { printf( "File could not be opened\n" ); return 0; } /* end if */ fscanf( fp, "%d%s%lf", &account, name, &balance ); /* while not end of file */ while ( !feof( fp ) ) { printf( "%-10d%-13s%7.2f\n", account, name, balance ); fscanf( fp, "%d%s%lf", &account, name, &balance ); } /* end while */ fclose( fp ); /* fclose closes the file */ return 0; /* indicates successful termination */ } /* end main */ Example

  25. #include <stdio.h> int main( void ) { int account; /* account number */ char name[ 30 ]; /* account name */ double balance; /* account balance */ FILE *fp; /* fp = clients.dat file pointer */ /* fopen opens file; exits program if file cannot be opened */ fp = fopen( "clients.dat", "r" ); if ( fp == NULL ) { printf( "File could not be opened\n" ); return 0; } /* end if */ fscanf( fp, "%d%s%lf", &account, name, &balance ); /* while not end of file */ while ( !feof( fp ) ) { printf( "%-10d%-13s%7.2f\n", account, name, balance ); fscanf( fp, "%d%s%lf", &account, name, &balance ); } /* end while */ fclose( fp ); /* fclose closes the file */ return 0; /* indicates successful termination */ } /* end main */ Example

  32. More on Sequential Access Files • Cannot be modified without the risk of destroying other data • Fields can vary in size • Different representation in files and screen than internal representation • 1, 34, -890 are all ints, but have different sizes on disk
