fopen getting crashed....(cannot able to access file through fopen sometimes)

[sharath137]

hi ,

I was trying to open a file using fopen() method. It's not opening all the time. some time it opens but the other time its getting crashed....

FILE* tmpfile = fopen(xxxxxx, "r")

this is the code i am using....

and every time the value of xxxx is coming correctly.....

wat may be the problem...

will it occur of i try to open the file when the file is already accessed by some other function......(if so is there any lock option for it)


Please help me out.....

do you have a short sample of code that has the error in it?

[sharath137]

#define MAX_LENGHT = 3000;
string File = XXXXX;
char FileName[MAX_LEN];
memset(FileName, 0, MAX_LEN);

FILE* tmpfile = fopen(File.c_str(), "r");
if (NULL == tmpfile)
{
return false;
}
else
{
strcpy(FileName, File.c_str());
fclose(tmpfile);
}

the file gets open correctly, but you use MAX_LEN and MAX_LENGHT. do you want this?
