Code:
#include stdio.h
int main()
{
FILE *fileptr;
int count_lines = 0;
char filechar[40], chr;
printf("Enter file name: ");
scanf("%s", filechar);
fileptr = fopen(filechar, "r");
//extract character from file and store in chr
chr = getc(fileptr);
while (chr != EOF)
{
//Count whenever new line is encountered
if (chr == 'n')
{
count_lines = count_lines + 1;
}
//take next character from file.
chr = getc(fileptr);
}
fclose(fileptr); //close file.
printf("There are %d lines in %s in a file\n", count_lines, filechar);
return 0;
}
Output:
Enter file name: pgm2.c
There are 43 lines in pgm2.c in a file
