I want to export a file created and filled by the current program at the end.Its a log file that program writes what it does. I open a file with fopen and writing what I am doing in the program. when I type on terminal "gedit file.c" It shows me the file but program should type it for me not myself.

So you want to export a log file. Which country are you wanting to export it to? Do you need a permit?

I think your question requires some clarification before you can get a useful answer.

I am building a file in desktop and fill it in program.At the end of program I want to export it..I do not want to get desktop and click on the file to open it.I want program to open it automaticly..

So you want to open the file for editing automatically. That makes sense and execl should be able to do that for you. There is nothing here that resembles exporting, export or anything that was once a port so my advice is to remove all confusing references to export from your question. I will work on a solution.

Your code spawns the gedit program, but does nothing else.

That does not make much more sense. What do you mean by 'export' in this context? If you create and write a file then it exists on your disk when it is closed. If you want your program to show it to you, just add some code to read and display it.

yeah exatly thats what I want..I want my program to show me. What is that code? I am asking this. "gedit text.c" when I type this..gedit opens a new file..but I want to see my file not a new file.

Then give the name of the file: gedit <the name of your logfile>

Matthew Faithfull 22-Apr-13 8:51am

What happens when you run your code? Does gedit open? Are there any error messages from gedit or any error code returned to the program?

Solution 1

Thanks to you all. I have found the solution.

C#

int main(int argc,  char *argv[]) 
{
   system("gedit hello.c");

   return 0;
}
