fopen problem - straight C program on OS Lion, Xcode 4.3.2 - whazzup?

Show all headers | View raw

A skeleton program which is supposed to open a text file (created by
Wrangler so it's unicode but w/ unix lf breaks) and read a line and print it.
he file exists in the location as specified in the code,
which is below. The build succeeded w/o error. It's prob. some stupid typo
but I can't see it.

Regards,

ken quirici

here's the output returned:

fopen failed
my_ret = -1

Here's the code as copied from the Xcode editor.

int main(int argc, const char * argv[])
{
    char *my_filename;
    char *my_mode;
    char next_line[1000000];
    int my_ret,max_line;
    
    my_filename = "/Users/kenquirici/Desktop/journal/journal.txt.save";
    my_mode = "r";
    max_line = 1000000;
//    next_line = "";
//    my_ret_line = "";
    
    FILE *my_file;
    
    if((my_file = fopen(my_filename,my_mode)) == NULL)
        printf("fopen failed\n");
    else if(fgets(next_line,max_line,my_file) == NULL)
       printf("fgets returned null\n");
    else
       printf("%s%s","next_line: ",next_line);
    
    my_ret = fclose(my_file);

    // insert code here...
    printf("%s%d%s","my_ret = ",my_ret,"\n");
    return 0;
}
