Sorry, actually there were a few syntax errors.

Lines 14, 23: fscanf("...
   should be: fscanf(f,"...

Line 19:      c!=EOF
   should be: ch!=EOF

Line 20:      prinf(...
   should be: printf(...


When I compiled this program (at request) I had a problem with the EOF 
constant. A quick change to make it use "feof(f)" instead gives the 
following correct, working and tested code:


#include <stdio.h>

main()
{
  FILE *f;
  char ch;

  f=fopen("c:/autoexec.bat","rt");

  fscanf(f,"%c",&ch);
  /* while not the end-of-file of f */
  while(!eof(f)){
    printf("%c",ch);
    fscanf(f,"%c",&ch);
  }

  fclose(f);
  
  return 0;
}
