Debug Assertion Failed on code trying to read/write a text file

#include <iostream>
#include <cstring>
#include <cstdio>
#include <iomanip>
#include <conio.h>
#include <cstdlib>



using namespace std;
int main()

FILE *fp;
char moreRecords, addRecord;

struct student

char firstName[100], lastName[100];
int courseNumber, sectionNumber;

;

struct student s;
char newLastName[100];
long int dbsize;
errno_t g;

g = fopen_s(&fp,"studentdb.txt", "r+");

if (g == NULL)
g = fopen_s(&fp,"studentdb.txt", "r+");

if (g == NULL)
puts("Can't open selected file");
return 0;



dbsize = sizeof(s);

while (1)
system("cls");

cout << "1. Add Records" << endl; //Lets the user add their records
cout << "2. List Records" << endl; //Lets the user List all the previous records
cout << "3. Modify Records" << endl; //Lets the user modify previously entered records
cout << "4. Delete Records" << endl; //Lets the user delete preciously entered records
cout << "5. Exit Program" << endl; //Exits the program
cout << "Please make a selection above:n";
//fflush(stdin);
addRecord = _getche();
switch (addRecord)

case '1' :
fseek(fp, 0, SEEK_END);
moreRecords = 'Y';
while (moreRecords == 'Y'



system("pause");
return 0;



So when I go through the initial options, it works for 3. Modify Records and 4. Delete Records. When you enter 1,2 or 5 it immediately breaks and gives me a Debug Assertion Failed error. It says
File: minkernelcrtsucrtsrcappcrtstdiofseek.cpp
Line: 177
Expression: stream.valid()
Tried debugging the code but wasn't able to find anything giving that error. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • What do you expect fopen_s to return on success?

    "FILE *fp;" in a C++ program? Why? We have better ways than that old C stuff.

  • If you're used to using fopen then naturally you will want to see if the return value is NULL. But remember that NULL is just a macro that evaluates to 0. Microsoft in their wisdom decided that fopen_s should return 0 on success.
