Reading / Writing Wav files in C.

popinfresh · 03-05-2005 11:04PM #1

I tried google, but to no avail

Does anybody know how I'd go about reading and or writing wav-files in C (Any Format it doesn't really matter). And by reading wav files I mean storing floats in an array, the way that the 'wavread' function in matlab does.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Oh and C not C++ :eek:

I tried google with:
wav reader c

And on page 2 got

http://www.mcternan.me.uk/MCS/

which has a file on the page called WavLib.zip which, at a quick glance, seems to contain the basics of both a WAV reader and writer.

If you're targeting the Windows platform, mmioWrite etc is the system supported implementation.

Thanks. It seems my choice of words used in google were crap

. That should do the trick, but bear in mind I'm a programming n00bie. i.e The most complicated thing I'm doing ATM is structs . But I'm sure I'll be able to figure it out :cool:

Have a look at http://www.planet-source-code.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?txtCodeId=4422&lngWId=3
it explains the windows waveout functions pretty well, as well as the wave file format.
