I am working on an application that should read a text file which contains the path of the .jpg files using C file handling functions.
The requirement is to read the file line by line but if the path of the line is wrong, it should not read the current line any more and should move into the next line.

Can any one plz help me how to move the file pointer to the next line while it is in the current line. Thank you

Set the second character to 0 if you discard the contents anyway.

There's one function to set the function pointer to a specific position: fseek(). However, you need to know the exact position or offset from the current position (in bytes) to use this function. If you don't have that, then the only way is to keep on reading and discard the results.
