Okay i need to put five numbers in a .txt file, say for example
14, 26, 19, 28, 7
then i need to write a proggram in C that will read those numbers and perform various calculations to them, is there a way to get the computer to say first number=a second number=b, third number=c, etc.? or is it more complicated than that, also the numbers should be on one line of the.txt file

any help would be much appreciated

Cheers,
Ben

The simplest way would be to write the numbers to a INI file. There are Windows API functions which you can call to read and write the values. Lookup GetPrivateProfileInt.

That's not at all the simplest way. Use fscanf. If the numbers are all stored on one line, delimited by commas like your example, try:

fscanf(f, "%d,", &number);

where f is a FILE * pointer to an open file handle, and &number is the address of an integer variable number that you have already declared.

i'm not the best with c...but i would say that having it as a comma deliniated file will make that text file into a very basic database...you should look through your "c" books for comma seperated variables, or format...not sure what the last word would be...but look for comma seperated
