LinuxQuestions.org - C (ncurses) printing blank characters

Hi all,
First of all i'd like to say that I'm new to linux (I use Slackware 13) and it's the first time i use the ncurses library.

Concerning my problem, i am trying to make a program with ncurses that prints a labyrinth and user moves a little robot out of it. I have the labyrinth in a txt file called map.txt and i copy this to a 2D 60x20 array called map. I printed the array and seems ok. The problem is that when i am trying to print the array after creating a window (printw("%c",map[i][j]) the cursor moves as if the program has printed the contents but there are only blank chars on the screen.

I read in another thread on this forum (http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...-prob.-346656/) that this could be happening because there are \r\n chars in the txt file. But even if that's the problem i don't know how to remove them.

Here is the code:

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

#include <stdlib.h>

#include <unistd.h>

#include <ncurses.h>





int main(int argc, char **argv){

  

  FILE *fptr;

  char ch,map[62][20],ex;

  int i,j;

  int X,Y;//column=20; row=8;

  int mv;







  if( (fptr=fopen("map.txt", "r"))==NULL)

  {

    printf("map.txt doesn't exist.\n");

    exit(1);

  }



  i=0;

  j=0;

  while((ch=getc(fptr))!= EOF){

    map[i][j]=ch;

    j++;

    if(j>19){

      i++;

      j=0;}

  }



  fclose(fptr);



  for(i=0;i<62;i++)

    for(j=0;j<20;j++)

  printf("%c",map[i][j]);



  if(initscr()==NULL)

    printf("Error initializing ncurses!\n");

  cbreak();

  noecho();

  keypad(stdscr,TRUE);

  do{

  for(i=0;i<62;i++)

    for(j=0;j<20;j++)

    printw("%c",map[i][j]);

  /*j++;

  if(j>19)

  i++;j=0;}*/

  refresh();

  ex=getch();}

  while (ex!='q');

  endwin();



  return 0;

}

And here is the labyrinth that i'm trying to print on the window:

Any help or idea appreciated. Thank you!

PS:It's actually somewhat urgent(!!). School project. I'd be grateful if anyone could help!
