Miscellaneous Coding Tidbits

Links to information about using 'getline' instead of 'gets':
    
GNU C Manual - Line-Oriented Input
     GNU C Programming Tutorial - getline

To get input from data files:
     Include stdio.h as a header file, declare a FILE * variable, use fopen to connect the FILE * variable to your physical file. See references further below for C file I/O examples.
To deal with reading strings correctly from files:
     When reading a string after reading a number from a file, you may need to read a junk character out between reading the number and the string. Use the getc(file_pointer) command to read one character from a file. If one doesn't work try using two getc commands.
To compile multiple physical files into a single program:
     To compile two files (Ex: L41.c and L42.c) together into a single program, use the gcc command with both file names following. Example:
     myomega>gcc L41.c L42.c
To get time and date information for your program using C functions:
     Information and an example using localtime(), time(), and the struct tm are available at www.cplusplus.com/ref/ctime/localtime.html Click on the various links to see the struct definition and other examples
