Extracting variables from text file (C)

Question

I need to input four variables into a C program (Win32) from a text file. Each of the variables are on their own line.

example.txt:

2.651127
-7.802776
5.530998
-17.239931

These four variables will each be a float in my program. What is the syntax in C to pass each line to its own variable? There are only ever four numbers, each on their own line.

I previously asked this question as a C++ question; since have discovered that the solution didn't work as I am working in C.

Answer 1

Try using the fscanf function.
