Hi
The following is my program to test popen()
routine. The purpose is to print some contents
of the corrent directory.
But in fact, the output is only one character
'a', which I believe is the first char of the file
"a.out".
So, can anybody tell me what is wrong about
this program?
Thanks.

#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
FILE* pipe;
int i;
char ch;

pipe=popen("ls","r");
for (i=0;i<=15;i++);
{
ch= fgetc(pipe);
printf("%c\n",ch);
}
}

Your "for" loop isn't connected to your "for" statement. Drop that last semicolon on the same as your "for" statement.

thank you
