[plug] C, bad syntax etc.

[John Knight]

I have a file called 'temp.dat'. The file consists of something like this:
Monday 23
Tuesday 28
Wednesday 31
(etc.)

I have to grab all of those temperatures in the file and display the average 
(it'll be a fixed 7 days, don't worry), so I need to ignore the names and 
just get the temperatures, using only C.

Tah for your help all, makes u feel good to be a geek!

Make lunch, not war.
