Re: auto refresh file in textview

[Rudra Banerjee <bnrj rudra yahoo com>]

I am sorry but I really don't know how to write on a buffer.
I am writing on the file as:
    FILE *fop = fopen(filename, "a" );
    g_fprintf( fop, "@%s{%s,\n", strcombo, strkey );
    g_fprintf( fop, "\tAuthor=%s,\n", strAuth);
etc. and the buffer is defined as
static void read_view(char *inpfn) {
    char *buffer;
    stat(inpfn, &filestat);
    textbuffer = gtk_text_view_get_buffer(GTK_TEXT_VIEW(textview));
    buffer = (char *) malloc(filestat.st_size * sizeof (char));
    efile = fopen(inpfn, "r");
    fread(buffer, filestat.st_size, 1, efile);
    gtk_text_buffer_set_text(textbuffer, buffer, filestat.st_size);
    free(buffer);
}

Can you please give me a hint how to write on a buffer? I am a novice,
hope you will be kind.
