Reading text from a file, fgets

I''m having a problem reading text from a file. The code I have is as follows. char *text; char line[255]; FILE *file; file = fopen("text.txt, "r"); if (file == null) { ... } fgets(line, 255, file); text = malloc(strlen(line)); strcpy(text, line); printf("line reads: %s", line); printf("text reads: %s", text); fclose(file); This code isn''t exactly what I''m doing, I did this for brevity, but either way line and text both read as NULL. The file I''m reading from does contain text, the first line is text, yet I can''t read it for some reason. Any help would be greatly appreciated. ------------ - outRider -
