Reading file using fscanf() in C

Question

I need to read and print data from a file.
I wrote the program like below,

#include
#include
int main(void)
{
char item[9

scanf() and friends return the number of input items successfully matched. For your code, that would be two or less (in case of less matches than specified). In short, be a little more careful with the manual pages:

#include 
#include 
#include 

int main(void)
{
    char item[9], status;

    FILE *fp;

    if((fp = fopen("D:\\Sample\\database.txt", "r+")) == NULL) {
        printf("No such file\n");
        exit(1);
    }

    while (true) {
        int ret = fscanf(fp, "%s %c", item, &status);
        if(ret == 2)
            printf("\n%s \t %c", item, status);
        else if(errno != 0) {
            perror("scanf:");
            break;
        } else if(ret == EOF) {
            break;
        } else {
            printf("No match.\n");
        }
    }
    printf("\n");
    if(feof(fp)) {
        puts("EOF");
    }
    return 0;
}
