It's much better top use a scripting language for something like this. > I > wait for an EOF character in order to indicate when to stop reading > from the file. There's no such thing as an EOF character in C; instead, getc() will return -1; note that this does not fit into an unsigned char, so getc returns an int. > Essentially, I am trying to copy a template .xcf file and rename it. On a Unix/Linux system, the shell command, cp "$template" `basename "$template" .xcf`-2.xcf will rename $template. One line, no getc or EOF. Or you could write a GIMP plugin in Python. slave ankh _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list List address: gimp-developer-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-developer-list
