Thread: Line Counting

I have been looking and determined that there is no C function that counts the number of lines in a file. I would like to make a function to do this but do not really know how. So far I have this

Code:

int linecount (FILE *file){
	char ar[1024];
	int count=0;
	while(feof(file)==0){
		fgets(ar,1024,file);
		count++;
	}
    return(count);
}

This for some reason always seems to return 0 though. Can someone please help with this. Thanks.
