Get filename from input

[tomtran3110]

I want to input a filename from input, then open a file with that name. If doesn't exist, create one.
I tried this but wouldn't work. Any idea?

  char filename[10];
  scanf("%s", filename);
  FILE *clientfile;
  FILE *serverfile;
  clientfile = fopen("client/"filename, "r");
  serverfile = fopen("server/"filename, "a+");

The name doesn't exactly have 10 characters. But I don't how many char will it be. Let's assume it is less than or equal to 10.

Huh, so do you want a get a file and append to that file, after doing some calculate with the values in the file or do you want to create a brand new file with a similar name?

I just can't tell what you meant by,

I keep thinking that you want to just append to that file bcs if you have a file as input that's user defined then you will never not have a file... Is that what you want?

Hope this helps,

Edit: maybe you want a user to define a filename and create a file with that filename...
If so then maybe you want to reread the tutorial on files on this site.

Does it have to be coded in C?

Silly me, simply strcat() had solved my problem. Thanks anyway!
