Count number of line using C

Question

Is there a way to count the number of lines in my file using C?

Answer 1

Please think for a moment about what you have to do to count lines in a file:

1. Open the file for reading, maybe with fopen( );

2. Read each line, one line at a time, maybe with fread( );

3. Increment a line counter that you've initialized to zero earlier;

4. Whwn end-of-file is returned from the next read of the file, you are done. printf( ) the line counter.
