I would be really greatful if someone could point me in the right direction. So far I have a program which reads in a series of currencies from a text file. The user inputs a number 1 to 9 and this corresponds to a particular rate in the text file i.e. 1 =British pound etc. I was wondering if it is at all possible to highlight the users selection i.e. if they input 1 highlight the text British Pound, input 2 highlight the text Euro. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. I presume it would go in either one of these functions but im not entirely sure.
void convert(void)
{
gotoxy(20,17);
printf("Select currency to convert from ");
from=(getch()-48);
while(from<1 || from>9)
from=(getch()-48);
gotoxy(20,17);
printf(" ");
gotoxy(20,17);
printf("Select currency to convert to ");
to=(getch()-48);
while(to<1 || to>9)
to=(getch()-48);
gotoxy(20,17);
printf(" ");
gotoxy(20,17);
printf("Enter amount: ");
amount=gfloat();
gotoxy(20,19);
printf("%1.2f",(amount/rates[from-1])*rates[to-1]);
pause();
}
void read_file(float *rates)
{
char buff[80];
int i;
i=0;
while(fgets(buff,80,fpin)!=NULL)
{ // x y
gotoxy(17,7+i);
printf("%d %s",i+1,buff);
gotoxy(42,7+i);
printf("%d %s",i+1,buff);
if(fgets(buff,80,fpin)!=NULL)
rates[i++]=(float)atof(buff);
}
fclose(fpin);
}
