Thanks! Its working excellent. Now, I have another small problem. I have opened a file from the menubar filechooser dialog as:
static void open_file(GtkWidget *widget, gpointer data) { GtkWidget *dialog;//, *entry; dialog = gtk_file_chooser_dialog_new("Open File", GTK_WINDOW(window), GTK_FILE_CHOOSER_ACTION_OPEN, GTK_STOCK_CANCEL, GTK_RESPONSE_CANCEL, GTK_STOCK_OPEN, GTK_RESPONSE_ACCEPT, NULL); if (gtk_dialog_run(GTK_DIALOG(dialog)) == GTK_RESPONSE_ACCEPT) { char *filename; filename = gtk_file_chooser_get_filename(GTK_FILE_CHOOSER(dialog)); read_view(filename); g_print(filename); } gtk_widget_destroy(dialog); } I would like to append this file from another function: static void activate_func(GtkWidget *widget, gpointer data) { /* OTHER STAFF */ FILE *fop = fopen("file.bib", "a" ); g_fprintf( fop, "@%s{%s,\n", strcombo, strkey ); /*ETC*/ } instead of fopen("file.bib","a"), I tried fopen(open_file( *widget, data,filename),"a") and also adjusted the argument of open_file. but its not working. How I can transfer the filename from open_file to activate_func?
