im facing problem with fread()??

Hi ,
i am writing a simple prgm to read a .txt file then store the contents
into the array...
program as follows:
--------------------------
#include<stdio.h>

int main()
{
FILE *fp1;
int buf[5];
int num,i;

fp1=fopen("triangle.txt","r");
if(fp1 == NULL)
{
printf("file cant be opend");
exit(0);
}

num=fread(buf,sizeof(int),5,fp1);
printf("num of elements read =%d\n",num);

for(i=0;i<5;i++)
printf("%d\n",buf[i]);
return 0;
}

------------------
i am getting no.of elements read as 0,but file is openable...
the elements as junk numbers...

can anybody tell me wat is the problem in doing this ..????
is it that i m using fread wrongly or it behaves abnoramlly???

TIA
Regards,
Rajshekhar
