    1. Open the file
    2. Read a line of text
    3. Find the space
    4. Print out everything before the space
    5. Repeat steps 2-4 until the end of file is reached
    6. close the file

    Code:
    char *letter = sentence;
    while(*letter && *letter != ' ')
    {
      printf("%c",*letter);
      letter++;
    }
