Hello,

I am trying to finish up a group project but I am running into a 
small problem. I keep getting an error about fgetc not being 
callable. The purpose of my program is to count the number of 
characters in a file. Any bit of help is appreciated!

Here's my code:

import std.stdio;
import std.file;
import std.string;


void main()
{
	FILE *file;
	char ch;
	int charCount,wordCount,input;
	
	
	
	//File file = File("test.txt","w");
	 //input=fscanf(file, "%ch",&ch);
	
	 //file.writeln("hello");
	
	//string s = file.readln();
	
	file=fopen("test,txt","r");
	
	while(!file.eof())
	{
		/*string line = chomp(file.readln());
		wordCount++;
		writeln(wordCount);*/
		
		ch = getc(file);
		charCount++;
			
	}
	
	
	
	file.close();

		
	
	
}

Since you're using the C library stdio functions, you should 
import core.stdc.stdio

ok I added that in, but now its giving me this:

  function core.stdc.stdio.getc (shared(_IO_FILE)* stream) is not 
callable using argument types (File)

Am I just using getc the wrong way?

You're mixing Phobos' `File` object and C's FILE stream. You're 
passing the `File` to getc which expects FILE. Also, if there's 
no specific reason, you should prefer the Phobos' file (which 
doesn't work with getc from C, as it would require obtaining the 
C stream from Phobos object, which would not be the best idea).

Try something like this:

...
ch = getc(file.getFP);
...

Hi, I having equal problems and it looks like you get the 
solution. so is it posible to get the full code listing from 
import .... to the counting that is working?
Just as a conclusive answer for others aswell to read.
