Here's an example of a file I want my program to read:

"B02304Y8412","01:37","26-11-97"
"B02321X8412","01:37","26-11-97"

I tried the following code:

input = fopen( filename, "rt" );

while( fscanf( input, "\"%s\",\"%s\",\"%s\"\n", code, time, date ) )
{
  //do stuff to code, time and date
}

but the loop is never entered.

I also tried the following C++:

ifstream input;
input.open ( filename, ios::nocreate );

while( !input.eof() )
{
  input << "\"" << code << "\",\"" << time << "\",\"" << date << "\"\n";

  //do stuff to code, time and date
}

but the same thing happened.  I also tried removing all the \" but
still nothing.

PLEASE HELP!!

Dean.

PS I'd rather a reply via email...
