Re: Using fprintf to output a .tex file

The underlying problem is that you are printf'ing the actual string rather than 
fprintf(file,"%s", s) ... if you do it that way, you not only have to escape 
backslashes, you have to escape any character that is special to printf which 
includes "%".  It's almost certainly a '%' that caused the format error you 
mentioned.

Rather than write complex code to protect the strings, just use "%s" and 
side-step the problem if you can.
