Printing to file and saving work

[Ceevu]

Hello,


I'm a novice C programmer and I wanted to ask if the following are possible within C:

1. I want to get the user to select a bunch of items out of a list and have them stored until the user asks for the list of chosen items. Then I want to offer the option to print them to file (or directly to a printer or the default word program, in windows)

2. I want to offer the user an opportunity to add to a list of items (in this case its a grocery list) if the item they want isn't on the list and then have the opion presented to save the newly added items permantely to the list.



Basically, in an attempt to use a few of the skills I've learned, I want to create a grocery-list type program where the user goes through a list of categories, chooses one, then sees the sub-list where he can choose what to put on his grocery list. I think I can do that part but the two above ideas I'm uncertain of how to go about it.

Any help is appreciated

"printing to a file" is commonly known as writing to a file; and is fairly easy. Printing to a printer is less easy; but may be possible without too much of a learning curve if there is a free library available.

The rest is eminently doable.

I suggest you take a trip to your library, there's tons of excelent books out there, and librarys are free (unless you're late returning the book anyway). Check your school library too.
