Help with file opening

[iWearKiltz]

Hey,

 

not really sure what details you will want to know but I'm coding in C using microsoft visual studio (this is running on an emulated version of windows 8.1 - using a macbook pro with parallels desktop 10 to run both mac/windows at the same time). 

 

okay so my issue is that i cannot open a file, i have an assignment where i need to open two, so I'm starting with opening one for now.

i've created a document called initial1.txt 

heres my code, someone helps me cause I'm confused as heck!

#include <stdio.h>

#include <stdlib.h>

 

 

 

FILE *file_in;

 

 

int main(void)

 

{

 

errno_t err;

 

char ccount[25];

 

err = fopen_s(&file_in, "\\psf\Home\Documents\Visual Studio 2013\Projects\MiniProject\MiniProject\Debug\initial1.txt", "r");

if (err == 0)

{

printf("The file 'initial1' was opened\n");

}

else

{

printf("The file 'initial1' was not opened\n");

}

 

fscanf_s(file_in, "%s", ccount);

 

printf("%s", ccount);

 

fclose(file_in);

 

return 0;

}

You need to properly escape your slashes

 

\\\\psf\\Home..
