File Handling in C Language

The document discusses various file handling operations in C language including creating a file, writing data to a file, reading from a file, deleting a file, and determining the size of a file. Code examples are provided to demonstrate how to open a file, write user input to the file, close the file, remove/delete a file, read contents from a file, and use ftell to get the size of a file.

FILE HANDLING IN C LANGUAGE

We have 5 type of file handling

1. Create
2. Write
3. Read
4. Delete
5. Size

/**
* C program to create a file and write data into file.
*/

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

#define DATA_SIZE 1000

int main()
{
/* Variable to store user content */
char data[DATA_SIZE];

/* File pointer to hold reference to our file */


FILE * fPtr;

/*
* Open file in w (write) mode.
* "data/file1.txt" is complete path to create file
*/
fPtr = fopen("data/file1.txt", "w");

/* fopen() return NULL if last operation was unsuccessful */


if(fPtr == NULL)
{
/* File not created hence exit */
printf("Unable to create file.\n");
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}

/* Input contents from user to store in file */


printf("Enter contents to store in file : \n");
fgets(data, DATA_SIZE, stdin);
/* Write data to file */
fputs(data, fPtr);

/* Close file to save file data */


fclose(fPtr);

/* Success message */
printf("File created and saved successfully. :) \n");

return 0;
}
Output
Enter contents to store in file :
Hurray!!! I learned to create file in C programming. I also learned to
write contents to file. Next, I will learn to read contents from file on
Codeforwin. Happy coding ;)
File created and saved successfully. :)

DELETE THE FILE

#include<stdio.h>
int main() {
   int del = remove("textFile.txt");
   if (!del)
      printf("The file is Deleted successfully");
   else
      printf("the file is not Deleted");
   return 0;
}

#include<stdio.h>

int main()

{
if (remove("abc.txt") == 0)

printf("Deleted successfully");

else

printf("Unable to delete the file");

return 0;

READ A FILE IN C

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
char name[50];
int marks, i, num;

printf("Enter number of students: ");


scanf("%d", &num);

FILE *fptr;
fptr = (fopen("C:\\student.txt", "w"));
if(fptr == NULL)
{
printf("Error!");
exit(1);
}

for(i = 0; i < num; ++i)


{
printf("For student%d\nEnter name: ", i+1);
scanf("%s", name);

printf("Enter marks: ");


scanf("%d", &marks);
fprintf(fptr,"\nName: %s \nMarks=%d \n", name, marks);
}

fclose(fptr);
return 0;
}

FILE SIZE IN C

#include<stdio.h>

#include<conio.h>

void main()

FILE *fp;

char ch;

int size = 0;

fp = fopen("MyFile.txt", "r");

if (fp == NULL)

printf("\nFile unable to open...");

else

{
printf("\nFile opened...");

fseek(fp, 0, 2); /* File pointer at the end of file */

size = ftell(fp); /* Take a position of file pointer in


size variable */

printf("The size of given file is: %d\n", size);

fclose(fp);
