i am trying to read the values stored inside the buffer but instead its showing me the address?

Question

i want to print the values in the location not the address.. when i run the program using breakpoint it does increases the values but doesn't print the values contained in the addresses..

    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    #include <string.h>
    #include "conio.h"

    int main()
    {
       char ch;
       char buffer[100];
       char* p;
       p = buffer;
       FILE *fp;

       fp = fopen("D:\\Telenor_Short_01.vts","rb");//  binary mode

       fseek(fp,0,SEEK_END); //sets the file position of the stream to the given offset
       int size=ftell(fp); //returns the current file position of the given stream.
       printf("size of file is :%d\n",size);

       if( fp == NULL ) //error checking
       {
          perror("Error while opening the file.\n");
          exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
       }

       fread(p,1,100,fp);
       for (int i=0;i<100;i++)
       {

           printf("%04x\n",*p);
           p++;
       }
       fclose(fp);

       /*printf("The contents of %s file are :\n", file_name);*/

       /*int i;
       while( ( ch = fgetc(fp) ) != EOF )
       {
          printf("%02X ",ch);
          if( !(++i % 16) ) putc('\n', stdout);
       }
       fclose(fp);
       putc('\n', stdout);*/
       _getch();
       return 0;
    }

this is the output:

but i want the values ..

Answer 1

First, check fp for NULL immediately after fopen. Second seek to the beginning of the file before fread. Last, most importantly, check the return value of fread, because that's the number of elements that was read into the buffer. It may be smaller than the buffer.

   fp = fopen("D:\\Telenor_Short_01.vts","rb");//  binary mode
   if( fp == NULL ) //error checking
   {
      perror("Error while opening the file.\n");
      exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
   }

   fseek(fp,0,SEEK_END); //sets the file position of the stream to the given offset
   int size=ftell(fp); //returns the current file position of the given stream.
   printf("size of file is :%d\n",size);

   fseek(fp, 0, SEEK_SET);
   int nread = fread(p, 1, 100, fp);
   for (int i=0; i<nread; i++)
   {
       printf("%04x\n", *p);
       p++;
   }
   fclose(fp);

In addition, in C, you can access array elements either by subscription or by pointers arithmetic, the two are the same effect:

char arr[8];
arr[3] is same as *(arr + 3);
&arr[3] is same as arr + 3;

To read the big file by chunks:

fseek(fp, 0, SEEK_SET);
char buf[4096];
int nread;
int i;
while (1) {
    nread = fread(buf, 1, 4096, fp);
    for (i=0; i<nread; i++)
    {
        printf("%02x\n", buf[i]);
    }
    if (nread < 4096)
        break;
}
fclose(fp);
