Load point from file

I have a text file : (data.txt)
0 0 0
1 1 1
2 2 2
3 3 3
4 4 4

I want draw 5 Points from this file into screen (http://nehe.gamedev.net/data/lessons/vc/lesson26.zip =>I want to draws 5 points in the floor, and move ball across that 5 points)
My code:
#include
using namespace std;
char* filename=“data.txt”;
int** a;
int rows,cols;
void readfile()
{
int a[5][3];
char* filename=“data.txt”;
FILE* f;
f=fopen(filename,“r”);
for(int j=0;j<2;j++)
for(int k=0;k<4;k++)
fscanf(f,“%d”,&a[j][k]);

}

=> readfile function is ok! , but when i call funntion :

void drawpoints()
{ glclear(…)
glPointsize(…)
readfile(); //call readfile funntion :
glBegin(GL_POINTS);
glColor3f(2.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f);
glVertex3f(a[0][0],a[0][1],a[0][2]);
glVertex3f(a[1][0],a[1][1],a[1][2]);

glVertex3f(a[4][0],a[4][1],a[4][2]);

glEnd();

}

Result :

a[j][k] -> j goes from 0 to 1 (2 elements) and k goes from 0 to 3 (4 elements), yet the array is declared as [5][3], so you’ve got your array indexes the wrong way around, you’re overflowing one of them and you’re not reading in enough overall.

Even fixing this won’t work as you have the variable ‘a’ declared twice; once in global scope and once in local scope, and you’re never assigning anything to the one in global scope. You’re also doing the same with the variable ‘filename’.

My advice - without wanting to be rude, I really think you need to learn some C/C++ before trying to code OpenGL.

ok, this is readfile() function:

void ReadFile()
{
FILE* f;
f=fopen(filename,“r”);
fscanf(f,"%d",&rows);
fscanf(f,"%d",&cols);
a = new int*[rows];
for(int i=0;i<rows;i++)
a[i]=new int[cols];
for(int j=0;j<rows;j++)
for(int k=0;k<cols;k++)
fscanf(f,"%d",&a[j][k]);

}
ok?
But OPenGL project don’t work…
