Question
Hi,
It's me again. I am facing another problem again with openning a file named 'cabinet_1273-1-v1.bom.3'. It's with an odd file format. When I tried to run my program, it reported that it failed to open the file. I could not find any reason for this failure online as well as from my reference book and hope that you can share some insight to this problem. Thank you! :)
Are you trying to open it with fopen() or open()?
If you are using one of these, then you can check the errno global variable to find the error number.
And check the explanation for that errorno in error.h file and you will know the reason.
Let me know if you need any assistance regarding errno?

| Comment | Thanks for your advise! Yeah, I managed to retrieve the errors but then I really do not understand the error. The errno is 2 which stands for 'no such file or directory'. I verified the location of the file again and it's at the right spot! Hmmm... is it due to the odd format of the file? cabinet_1273-1-v1.bom.3? The filename has two '.'s. Is it possible due to that? | ||
