Read int values from a text file in C

Question

I have a text file that contains the following three lines:

12 5 6 4 2 7 9 

I can use the fscanf function to read the first 3 values and store them in 3 variables. But I can't read the rest. I tried using the fseek function, but it works only on binary files.

Please help me store all the values in integer variables.

Answer 1

A simple solution using fscanf:

void read_ints (const char* file_name) {   FILE* file = fopen (file_name, "r");   int i = 0;    fscanf (file, "%d", &i);       while (!feof (file))     {         printf ("%d ", i);       fscanf (file, "%d", &i);           }   fclose (file);         } 

Answer 2

How about this?

fscanf(file,"%d %d %d %d %d %d %d",&line1_1,&line1_2, &line1_3, &line2_1, &line2_2, &line3_1, &line3_2);  

In this case spaces in fscanf match multiple occurrences of any whitespace until the next token in found.
