Is there something wrong with my code? The code compiles fine but I can't seem to read my .txt files properly. The goal of the program is to take the other two .txt files and put them into the 3rd one where they are sorted from least to greatest. here is my code

#include #include #include #include

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {

//Pointer for file read

if(argc!=4) { printf("Command arguments are not proper "); //error message incase invaild input

exit(0); }

FILE *list1,*list2,*sort;

list1 = fopen(argv[1],"r"); list2 = fopen(argv[2],"r"); sort = fopen(argv[3],"w");// sort.txt file so 'w'

int num1,num2;

fscanf (list1, "%d", &num1); fscanf (list2, "%d", &num2);

while (!feof(list1) && !feof(list2)) { if (num1

fprintf(sort,"%d ",num1);// print num 1 num1 = -9999; fscanf (list1, "%d", &num1); // read num1

} else {

fprintf(sort,"%d ",num2); num2 = -9999;

fscanf (list2, "%d", &num2); // read num2

}

}

if (!feof(list1)) {

while (!feof(list1)) { fprintf(sort,"%d ",num1);// print num 1 num1 = -9999;

fscanf (list1, "%d", &num1); // read num1 }

}

else { while (!feof(list2)) { fprintf(sort,"%d ",num2); num2 = -9999;

fscanf (list2, "%d", &num2); // read num2 }

}

if(num1!=-9999 && num2!=-9999) { if(num1

} else { fprintf(sort,"%d ",num2);// print num 2 fprintf(sort,"%d ",num1);

}

}

if(num1!=-9999) { fprintf(sort,"%d ",num1);// print num 1

}

if(num2!=-9999) {

fprintf(sort,"%d ",num2);// print num 2

}

fclose(list1);// closing file list1 fclose(list2);// closing file list2 fclose(sort);// closing file sort

return 0;

return 0;

}

here is the files

list1.txt

43

27

66

3352

20

list2.txt

600

24242

345

67

the last txt file, sort.txt, should be the one where its all printed and sorted but it seems to never happen.
