Can anybody walk me through the process to read/write files using the Windows API / C?

Question

I am using the Little C Compiler (LCC) installation (I have previous experience writing AWK scripts). I can't use the internet very much during working hours, so constant reference to MSDN is not an option.

I should have mentioned, this is for Win32, not Win16 (i.e. Windows 95 or previous)

Answer 1

I have always used fopen(), fread(), fwrite(), fclose().

I am doing this from memory so it may not compile.

unsigned char RWString[500];
unsigned int Number;

File* FilePtr = fopen("FileName.xxx", w);
//the w = write but could be r = read, b= binary
Number = 10; //number of bytes you want to read
fread(FilePtr, RWString, Number);
fwrite(FilePtr, RWString, Number);
fclose(FilePtr);
