Coding Help C, Text file into 2d array.

[bakchodpappu99]

I am stuck in the C programming and would like if someone could help. I need to take the data from a .txt file and store it in a 2d array. I can read the data and store it like this.

If you could show me an example of how I can store this in 2d array it'll be greatly appreciated. Thanks

FILE* inFile = NULL;
char Arr[1000];
inFile = fopen("myfile.txt", "r");

while(1){
fgets(Arr, 1000, inFile);
printf("%s", Arr);
if(feof(inFile))
break;
}

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
// Allocate memory for the array like this:

int** array;

array = malloc(n * sizeof(*array)); /* Assuming `n` is the number of rows */
if(!array) /* If `malloc` failed */
{
fputs(stderr, ""Error allocating memory; Bailing out!"");
exit(-1);
}

int count = 1;
for(int i = 0; i < n; i++)
{
array[i] = malloc(count * sizeof(**array));
if(!array[i]) /* If `malloc` failed */
{
for(int j = 0; j < i; j++) /* free previously allocated memory */
{
free(array[j]);
}
free(array);

fputs(stderr, ""Error allocating memory; Bailing out!"");
exit(-1);
}
count++;
}

// Then, read data from the file into the array by using:

FILE* fp = fopen(""file.txt"", ""r"");
if(!fp)
{
for(int i = 0; i < n; i++) /* free previously allocated memory */
{
free(array[i]);
}
free(array);

fputs(stderr, ""Error opening 'file.txt'; Bailing out!"");
exit(-1);
}

int max = 1;

for(int i = 0; i < n; i++)
{
for(count = 0; count < max; count++)
{
fscanf(fp, ""%d"", &array[i][count]);
}
max++;
}

// Then print the results:

max = 1;

for(int i = 0; i < n; i++)
{
for(count = 0; count < max; count++)
{
printf(""array[%d][%d] = %d"", i, count, array[i][count]);
}
max++;
}

// And finally, free the allocated memory:

for(int i = 0; i < n; i++)
{
free(array[i]);
}
free(array);
}
