Read one line at a time using fgets in C

I'm trying to make me a little game with SDL in C with different levels. I put each level line (ASCII) to a file that I named abc.lvl. My worry is that I do not know how to read the second line of the file abc.lvl to begin at 2 and not level 1.

int chargerNiveau (int level [] [NB_BLOC_HAUTEUR]) 
{ 
FILE * file = NULL; 
ligneFichier char [NB_BLOC_LARGEUR NB_BLOC_HAUTEUR * + 1] = {0}; 
int i = 0, j = 0; 
file = fopen ("/ media / Mac OS / prog / c / Marion Sokoban / abc.lvl", "r"); 
if (file == NULL) 
return 0; 
/ / We read the line niveau.lvl 
fgets (ligneFichier, NB_BLOC_LARGEUR NB_BLOC_HAUTEUR * + 1, file); 
for (i = 0; i <NB_BLOC_LARGEUR; i + +) 
{ 
for (j = 0, j <NB_BLOC_HAUTEUR j + +) 
{ 
switch (ligneFichier [(i * NB_BLOC_LARGEUR) + j]) 
{ 
case '0 ': 
level [j] [i] = 0; 
break; 
case '1 ': 
level [j] [i] = 1; 
break; 
case '2 ': 
level [j] [i] = 2; 
break; 
case '3 ': 
level [j] [i] = 3; 
break; 
case '4 ': 
level [j] [i] = 4; 
break; 
} 
} 
} 
fclose (file); 
return 1; 
}

I hope to make myself understood.

You can use fseek to move the file.

int fseek (FILE * stream, long offset, int whence);

[Haviva]

fseek does not allow you to move about in line, but offset only. If the row size is fixed, however, you can calculate the corresponding offset. However, in your example, you could instead load all the levels at startup (in an array of structures, for example) and then, nothing prevents you from start to the desired level, indicating the index of the corresponding table ( which is actually the level).

[Fred Fruax]

fseek () is mostly used when opening the file in binary mode. Now here it is opened in text mode, since it is opened with "r" (by the way it would be clearer to write "rt"). To read the second line, the easiest way is to read the first and not to do so, then read the second line. It is not uncommon to repeat several times the same thing, not only because the machines are so speed, it has not always need to optimize treatment, but also because there are "caches" which in reality, there are already some optimizations.

[Gowri]

The fgets function reads a line of data from the file pointed to by the file handle of the file pointer. The filehandle must previously fopen have been created (see Example 2). The readout of the data ends at the line break (= a line) or the number of parameters in the "maximum length" specified character, whichever occurs first. Then the file pointer at the end of the read data is set so that the next call to fgets to read the following line.

[Faizah]

A line break at the end of the line is returned. If an error occurs (eg reaches end of file), it is false (or 0) is returned.

here i have some example for this, so just check this:
Example 1

<Php 
$ Line = fgets ($ filehandle, 4096); 
?>

Result:

The variable "$ line" contains a line from the file on the file handle "$ file handle" shows.



Example 2

/ / The file "sample.txt" contains the following: 
PHP is more popular, 
not only the function fgets. 
<Php 
$ Filehandle = fopen ("sample.txt", "r"); 
$ Line = fgets ($ filehandle, 4096); 
echo $ line; 
?>

Result:
