fseek(exsist, start, end);
    while(count < end)
    {
        if(feof(exsist)) break;
        c = fgetc(exsist);
        printf("%c",c);
        if(feof(exsist)) break;
        ++count;

In theory I feel like this should print character by character until either eof or the intended end. Yet I am getting nothing printed to the terminal. I have been opening the file because I have a check above if it doesn’t see it.

    Please provide us with an minimal reproducible example. What is start? What is end? What is count? Commented Sep 26, 2022 at 12:17
  • We can only guess that end is the same as SEEK_END etc. Commented Sep 26, 2022 at 12:18

    Add fflush(stdout) right after the printf() as you don't put '\n', the output buffer is not fllushed. Commented Sep 26, 2022 at 12:37
  • What happens if you get a read error? Commented Sep 26, 2022 at 13:01
  • Exsist is a open file. Start is an int from user of the character to start at. End is an int from the user to stop at. Count is a ticker incriminating after each loop. @RefugnicEternium besides this code there is a check for file fopen ==NULL. William there wasn’t a read error in this code. Thank y’all for the help. I will try the fflush rachid k Commented Sep 26, 2022 at 15:56
