How can I read a text file like this for example:
aassssssdffff
aaadfffffffff
aaaaaaaaddff
asdddddff
And count the number of lines in the file?
My idea is:
while(fgets ! eof)
{
read a line
linecount ++
}
I guess what I'm getting at is, what does fgets return after it reads one line and how can you set it in a loop to read an entire file? Thanks in advance for any advice
Close enough
Code:#include <stdio.h> int main ( ) { char buff[BUFSIZ]; FILE *fp = fopen( "file.txt", "r" ); while ( fgets( buff, BUFSIZ, fp ) != NULL ) { // whatever } fclose( fp ); return 0; }
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
