Hi, How would I go about using the Caesar Cipher technique on a .txt file? E.g. shifting each letter by 3?

Here is my code?

Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>

#define CNTRLZ 0x1A

char sourceFileName[] = "H:\\text.txt";
char commStreamName[] = "COM1";
FILE *commStream;
FILE *SouceFile;
char charToSend;
char ReadAccess[] = "r";
char WriteAccess[] = "w";
char errorMsg[] = "fail to open data file\n";
char fileopenflag[] = "r";
char EndOfFile[] = "EOF";

int main(void) {
FILE *fp;
FILE *dp;
int c;

if ((dp = fopen("COM1", "r")) == NULL) {
printf("fail to open COM port\n"); return 1;
}


if ((fp = fopen( sourceFileName, "w")) == NULL) {
printf("fail to open data file\n"); return 1;
}


while ((c = fgetc(fp )) != EOF) {
fputc( c, dp);
putch(c);

}

fputc('*', dp);
fclose(dp);
fclose(fp);
}
Any ideas where to start?

Did you even pay any attention to your other thread, with the same code?

If you did not understand on that thread try responding what you could not understand instead of starting fresh.
