strtok - word counting from a file

Hey
I have a piece of code that counts the number of words input by the user using strtok. However, I am struggling with converting this program to do the same thing but instead of the user inputting the text, it will read from a text file, counting the number of words in the text file.

Ne tips would be greatly appreciated.

Code:

---

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#define MAX_LINE 80

int main(void)
{
        char line[MAX_LINE];
       
        char delim[] = " ,.!;:\n";    /* sets up word separators*/
        char *words, *ptr;
       
        int count = 0;

        printf("Enter line of text \n");
        fgets(line,MAX_LINE,stdin);

        ptr= line;
       
        while ((words = strtok(ptr, delim)) !=NULL) 
              {printf("\n%s\n",words);
              count++;
              ptr = NULL;
              }
        printf("there were %d words in the string \n",count);
             
        return 0;
}

To open the file use fopen(), and then use fgets() just like you already have, expect instead of stdin, specify your own file pointer. And use fclose() to close it at the end.

Thx hammer, sry to bore u with such a trivial question. Got it all sorted now thx 4 the help

Sry to bother agn, using strtok, how could I add to this program by finding the longest and shortest words? Any relevant tips would be greatly appreciated

Sry heres the code from the word counting I have:

Code:

---

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#define MAX_LINE 80

int main(void)
{
        char line[MAX_LINE];
       
        char delim[] = " ,.!:;\n";        /* sets up word separators*/
        char *words, *ptr;
        FILE *fptr;
        int count = 0;
        int ch;
        char longest_word;

        fptr = fopen ("test.txt", "r");
       
        if (fptr==NULL)
                printf ("\nCannot open the file\n\n");
        else       
        {       
        while ((ch=fgetc(fptr)) !=EOF)
        {        fgets(line,MAX_LINE,fptr);
                ptr= line;
               


        while ((words = strtok(ptr, delim)) !=NULL) 
              {
              count++;
              ptr = NULL; 
              }

        }
                printf("\nNumber of words in the file: %d \n\n",count);
                fclose(fptr);
        }
             
        return 0;
}
