Sorry if this has come up before but I'm puzzled as to why the following code
doesn't work.  The fprintf works fine but nothing is read in by the fscanf.

Thanx in advance.

#include <stdio>

int main(void)
{
	FILE *stream;
	char outstr1[]="Trying", outstr2[]="Hoping";
	char instr1[30], instr2[30];

	stream = fopen("try2.gbk","w");
	fprintf(stream,"%-30s %-30s",outstr1,outstr2);
	fclose(stream);

	stream = fopen("try2.gbk","r");
	fscanf(stream,"%-30s %-30s",instr1,instr2);
	fclose(stream);
}
