Well,

I am trying to read a text file which contains 5 rows and 5 columns of
numbers into an array, then print out the array on screem in the same format
that is was in the text file so that individual parts of the array can be
summed, counted etc. so far, I have not been able to do so, any help with
this would be very welcome.

Included is what I have come up with so far, yer ok, so I am also new to
this, there could be obvious mistakes in there of which I cannot see. Below
is the file that I have been working on.

Steve

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

main()
{
    FILE * aa;
    char fname[81], t[5][5];

     int a, ch, team, last;

    printf("Enter name of file to read: ");
    scanf("%80s", fname);

    aa = fopen(fname, "r");
    if (aa == NULL) {

        fprintf(stderr, "File cannot be opened.\n");
        exit(1);
        }

     while ((ch = getc(aa)) >= 0) {   /* while not EOF */
     for (a = 0; a <= 26; ++a)
     fscanf(stderr, "%s", t[a]);

     fprintf(stderr, "%s     \n", t[a]);
     }

     fclose(aa);
     return 0;
}
