If you want to acces a file using the old C way then do it this way :
FILE *fp;
fp=fopen ("D:\deepak\dd\d1.dat","r+");
that is it.

No, as Lundin wrote it, each '\' must be replaced by '\\' in the path.

I don't know what "the C old way" is. Follow ANSI C and use the syntax I suggested.

i just want to say i was mistaken.I agree you did it the right way.
I am sorry for the misunderstanding.

You see under c \ is an escape code and hence be foloowed somethingy. Example printing \a will give you a head ache. Print \n will print a line break printing \r will return the carriage. Lot's of them there are. but in you case in order to put a backslash, \, in C or C++ you must use the escape code \\ for the backslash.

And I think this has been implemented long before the dawn of time, ie. this is common 'the Old C'.
