Creating a Text File in C

 In c there are two types of files.

1.       Text files
2.       Binary files

Text files store human readable characters while binary files store machine readable characters.

#include<stdio.h>             

#include<string.h>

main( )

{

    FILE *f;

    char s1[25];

    int i;

    f = fopen("abc.txt","w");

    /* open for writing ..second parameter specifies the mode. */

    strcpy(s1,"This is an example line.");

    for (i = 1; i <= 10; i++)

      fprintf(f,"%s Line number %d\n", s1, i);

    fclose(f); /* close the file before ending program */

}
