Hello,

I'm very new to C so please forgive my ineptitude.

If I am given a file with "jfewuuj3uefi8jkw128jdmnsdf\s;'d1904"

I want to capture each occurence of an integer 0-9 into an array.

So in the array I would have {3,8,1,2,8,1,9,0,4}

How would I go about doing this? scanf? fgets?

Thank you

Take a look at fgetc and isdigit.

Here's what I have in my code:
arr[i] = fgetc("%d ");

I'm gettting a "passing argument 1 of 'fgetc' from incompatible pointer
type" error.

Read the man page for fgetc. It takes a FILE * as an argument,
and returns an int. You want something like this:

int ch;
while ( (ch = fgetc(file_pointer)) != EOF ) {
if ( isdigit(ch) ) {
/* stuff ch in your array */
}
}

Assuming file_pointer is a FILE * and has been successfully
opened for reading, and the appropriate header files have been
#included.

Do two passes. First go through the file counting the digits,
use the result to allocate a suitable array, and then go
through the data again to populate the array.

Your technique has the advantage of preserving order, but the disadvantage
of requiring the stream to be read twice. (If it's stdin, which the OP
suggests it isn't but never mind that!, then the stream might not even be
available a second time.)

If you expand the buffer as you go, using realloc when required, then you
can do this in a single pass.

(If order is not significant, an array of ten unsigned longs will be fine,
with each element being a counter for a particular digit.)

Please don't top-post. Read these:

http://www.caliburn.nl/topposting.html
http://www.cpax.org.uk/prg/writings/topposting.php

Your system should have documentation for the fgetc() function. Read
it. If not, a Google search should tell you how to use it. Don't
just guess (fgetc() doesn't take printf-style or scanf-style format
strings).

We must do something. This is something. Therefore, we must do this.

#include<conio.h>
#include<iostream.h>
#include<stdio.h>

void main()
{
FILE *fpt;
char c;
int temp,i[100];
int count = 0;

fpt = fopen("D:/ceg.txt","r");

if(NULL == fpt)
{
printf("\n Cannot open file");
}
else
{
do
{
c = getc(fpt);

if( (c >='0' ) && (c <='9' ))
{
i[count ++] = c-'0';
}

}
while(c!=EOF);
fclose(fpt);
}
for(temp = 0;temp<count;temp++)
printf("%d",i[temp]);
}
// USING mem. allocation would be more suitable

Of course. I tried to keep my answer on the level of suspected cluefulness
on the OP's part

The OP's example array content shows that this is not what he wants.

I see. I just hope you didn't overshoot!

Oops, so it does.
