Ask user for path for fopen in C? - path

Question

This is my function. It's working absolutely fine; I just can't get one more thing working.
Instead of the static fopen paths, I need the user to write the path for the files. I tried several things but I can't get it working. Please help
int FileToFile() {
FILE *fp;
FILE *fp_write;
char line[128];
int max=0;
int countFor=0;
int countWhile=0;
int countDo = 0;
fp = fopen("d:\\text.txt", "r+");
fp_write = fopen("d:\\results.txt", "w+");
if (!fp) {
perror("Greshka");
}
else {
while (fgets(line, sizeof line, fp) != NULL) {
countFor = 0;
countWhile = 0;
countDo = 0;
fputs(line, stdout);
if (line[strlen(line)-1] = "\n") if (max < (strlen(line) -1)) max = strlen(line) -1;
else if (max < strlen(line)) max = strlen(line);
char *tmp = line;
while (tmp = strstr(tmp, "for")){
countFor++;
tmp++;
}
tmp = line;
while (tmp = strstr(tmp, "while")){
countWhile++;
tmp++;
}
tmp = line;
while (tmp = strstr(tmp, "do")){
countDo++;
tmp++;
}
fprintf(fp_write, "Na tozi red operatora for go ima: %d pyti\n", countFor);
fprintf(fp_write, "Na tozi red operatora for/while go ima: %d pyti\n", countWhile - countDo);
fprintf(fp_write, "Na tozi red operatora do go ima: %d pyti\n", countDo);
}
fprintf(fp_write, "Maximalen broi simvoli e:%d\n", max);
fclose(fp_write);
fclose(fp);
}
}

Have a look at argc and argv. They are used for command-line arguments passed to a program. This requires that your main function be revised as follows:
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
The argc is an integer that represents the number of command-like arguments, and argv is an array of char* that contain the arguments themselves. Note that for both, the program name itself counts as an argument.
So if you invoke your program like this:
myprog c:\temp
Then argc will be 2, argv[0] will be myprog, and argv[1] will be c:\temp. Now you can just pass the strings to your function. If you pass more arguments, they will be argv[2], etc.
Keep in mind if your path contains spaces, you must enclose it in double quotes for it to be considered one argument, because space is used as a delimiter:
myprog "c:\path with spaces"
