Re: write to a file using g_print

[Rudra Banerjee <bnrj rudra yahoo com>]

Thanks! Its working excellent.
Now, I have another small problem.
I have opened a file from the menubar filechooser dialog as:

static void open_file(GtkWidget *widget, gpointer data) {
    GtkWidget *dialog;//, *entry;
    dialog = gtk_file_chooser_dialog_new("Open File",
            GTK_WINDOW(window),
            GTK_FILE_CHOOSER_ACTION_OPEN,
            GTK_STOCK_CANCEL, GTK_RESPONSE_CANCEL,
            GTK_STOCK_OPEN, GTK_RESPONSE_ACCEPT,
            NULL);
    if (gtk_dialog_run(GTK_DIALOG(dialog)) == GTK_RESPONSE_ACCEPT) {
        char *filename;
        filename =
gtk_file_chooser_get_filename(GTK_FILE_CHOOSER(dialog));
        read_view(filename);
        g_print(filename);
    }
    gtk_widget_destroy(dialog);
}

I would like to append this file from another function:
static void
activate_func(GtkWidget *widget, gpointer data) {
/* OTHER STAFF */
FILE *fop = fopen("file.bib", "a" );
    g_fprintf( fop, "@%s{%s,\n", strcombo, strkey );
/*ETC*/
}

instead of fopen("file.bib","a"), I tried fopen(open_file( *widget,
data,filename),"a") and also adjusted the argument of open_file.
but its not working. 

How I can transfer the filename from open_file to activate_func?
