Failing in message queue read from a file - c

Question

I have add to some data into a text file and read out that in the 2. I have the first code to write some stuff into the text file, but in the 2. code i can't reach it. I get message error: No such file or directory. What do i miss in these? ( i have to use message queue to solve this problem)

struct my_msgbuf {

char mtext[200];
};
int main(void) {
struct my_msgbuf buf;
int msqid;
int len;
key_t key;
system("touch msgq.txt");
if ((key = ftok("msgq.txt", 'B')) == -1) {
perror("ftok");
exit(1);
}
if ((msqid = msgget(key, PERMS | IPC_CREAT)) == -1) {
perror("msgget");
exit(1);
}
printf("message queue: ready to send messages.\n");
printf("Enter lines of text, ^D to quit:\n");
buf.mtype = 1;
while(fgets(buf.mtext, sizeof(buf.mtext), stdin) != NULL) {
len = strlen(buf.mtext);
/* remove newline at end, if it exists */
if (buf.mtext[len-1] == '\n') buf.mtext[len-1] = '\0';
if (msgsnd(msqid, &buf, len+1, 0) == -1) /* +1 for '\0' */
perror("msgsnd");
}
strcpy(buf.mtext, "end");
len = strlen(buf.mtext);
if (msgsnd(msqid, &buf, len+1, 0) == -1) /* +1 for '\0' */

Your programs work. You must first start the writer, so that the message queue is created, then start the reader, then in the writer Enter lines of text, which it will send to the reader, which will receive them.
