With this source code I am scanning for txt files in a folder called texts. I want to try to open a text file and print its contents to the screen (about a word or two). it should not take more than a 25 char string. this is my code.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54

I have a 64 bit pc running windows vista ultimate. does anyone know how to make _finddata_t work with fgets or another way to do this?
