Read lines from a file
The stdio.h header defines the fgets() function. This function reads a line from a stream and
stores it in a specified string. The function stops reading text from the stream when either n - 1
characters are read, the newline character ('\n') is read or the end of file (EOF) is reached.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#define MAX_LINE_LENGTH 80
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
char *path;
char line[MAX_LINE_LENGTH] = {0};
unsigned int line_count = 0;
if (argc < 1)
return EXIT_FAILURE;
path = argv[1];
/* Open file */
FILE *file = fopen(path, "r");
if (!file)
{
perror(path);
return EXIT_FAILURE;
}
/* Get each line until there are none left */
while (fgets(line, MAX_LINE_LENGTH, file))
{
/* Print each line */
printf("line[%06d]: %s", ++line_count, line);
/* Add a trailing newline to lines that don't already have one */
if (line[strlen(line) - 1] != '\n')
