Random Sentence from a File

[gandil]

Hi;
I wanna write a program which will show a random sentence from a specific file for each execution. Each sentence will separated by "\n".

I wrote a code but it isn't work. is there any suggestion.

Please help me...

My Code:

Code: Select all

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <ctype.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <math.h>


void main(void)
{
char **line,c;
int i=0,j=0,*slen,a,k;
FILE *myfile;

myfile = fopen("mycookies.txt","r"); 
if (myfile == NULL)
{
printg("Warning!Cannot open file.");
exit -1;
}


while ( !feof(myfile) )
{
fscanf(myfile,"%c",c);
while(c!='\n')
{
line[i][j]=c;
fscanf(myfile,"%c",&c);
j++; 
}
slen[i]=j;
i++

}

a=randomize(i);
for(k=0;k<slen[i];k++)
printf("%c",line[a][k]);

getch();
return 0; 

}

my advice is to use fgets() to read lines of input. And you can use it's return value to see if the the read was successfull or not.

In your code line and slen are uninitialized pointers.
