New to board - Question concerning Search and Print Line

[kronose]

Hey guys! First off fairly new to coding, spent some time in Java, now Im learning C and C+. Since I still consider myself a beginner, I obviously do not want people to 'solve' or 'do' anything strictly for me, I like to understand. Anyways, the basic premise of my problem is I have to search for a word, in a text file through command line, with a C program. That program then will see if a line contains the word, and print the line number. I can do all of that said in the problem, though Im having problems with printing the line number. Here is the code I have so far: can anyone give me any hints, or point me to material to look at to accomplish what I want to do? So if it finds the word Im searching for, I want it to print out the Line number, for the corresponding line.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#define MAX 500


char line[MAX];
char filename[20];
FILE *fp;
int main()
{
    // prompt for file name
    printf("Enter file name:   ");
    scanf("%s", filename);


    fp=fopen(filename, "r");
    
    // check through lines to determine if lines contain 'search' word
    while (fgets(line, sizeof(line), fp))
    {
        if (strstr(line, "hello") != NULL)
        {
            puts(__LINE__);
        }
    // Checks viability of file name input
    }
    fclose(fp);
    return 0;
}

So basically, if Im searching for the word 'ferrai', and in a text document you have

hey ferrari

long time no see

do you have a ferrari and another ferrari?

where is your ferrari

So then if the word is found in the line, it would print the line number, so:

1
5
7

or to that extent.

__LINE__ returns the line of your source code file, not the input file.

If you want to know the line number of the input file, you'll have to count it yourself.

Ok, that makes some sense. So how do would I start going about correlating a count increase, 1,2,3,4,5, with the search for the word? So that when the word appears, it prints the number its counting up 1, for each line? As in 'Oh I see the word ferrari is there, so this line contains the word, so I will print a number for this line'

Generally you start counting at 0, and then when you read a line the count goes up by one.
