Can't read txt file on nucleo f303k8

Online compiler Help
1

Hello! I am having an issue with reading a txt file on my Nucleo-f303k8. Here is my code:
#include <stdio.h>

#include <stdlib.h>

#include “mbed.h”

#include <errno.h>

void file_read() { // array heeft lengte van array_size, elke array bevat 3 coordinaten

FILE *filepointer = fopen("C:\\test.txt", "r"); 

                                 

if (filepointer == NULL) {

  printf("Can't open file\n");

} else {

   int one_or_zero = 0;

   int x = 0;

   int y = 0;

   while (!feof(filepointer)) {

       fscanf(filepointer, "%d%d%d\n", &one_or_zero, &x, &y);

       printf("%d %d %d\n", one_or_zero, x, y);

   }

}

fclose(filepointer);

}

int main(){

file_read();

}

and this is what the txt file says:

1 100 20
0 30 40
1 20 60

When i compile this there are no problems. But when i load the code on to my NucleoF303K8, Realterm gives me the following error:

I visited the links provided in the error message but they made me none the wiser. Can anyone see what’s wrong with my code?

Hi there,

please use correct code formatting like in the following example

```
 //your code
```

You try to open a file from not exist place. Because of that your pointer to the FILE is still NULL. That mean it was never opened and you call method fclose() anyway.

void file_read() { // array heeft lengte van array_size, elke array bevat 3 coordinaten
    FILE *filepointer = fopen("C:\\test.txt", "r");             
    if (filepointer == NULL) {
        printf("Can't open file\n");
    } else {
       int one_or_zero = 0;
       int x = 0;
       int y = 0;
       while (!feof(filepointer)) {
           fscanf(filepointer, "%d%d%d\n", &one_or_zero, &x, &y);
           printf("%d %d %d\n", one_or_zero, x, y);
       }
       fclose(filepointer); /*correct place*/
    }
    //fclose(filepointer); /*wrong place and that is the reason of crash*/
}

Hi Jan,

What do you mean by “you try to open a file from a non existent place”? I’m trying to open it from my C disk on my laptop.

I think you can’t open any file form your PC directly. The device can listen to the serial, where an application on the PC side is reading the file and sending the data.

that was previously possible with mbed2 and LocalFileSystem, but that was supported only on the Grandpa LPC1768 and LPC11U24.
