Write a program in C to count number of words and characters in a file.
#include
#include
void main()
{
FILE *fptr;
char ch;
int wrd=1,charctr=1;
char fname[20];
printf("\n\n Count the number of words and characters in a file :\n");
printf("---------------------------------------------------------\n");
printf(" Input the filename to be opened : ");
scanf("%s",fname);
fptr=fopen(fname,"r");
if(fptr==NULL)
{
printf(" File does not exist or can not be opened.");
}
else
{
ch=fgetc(fptr);
printf(" The content of the file %s are : ",fname);
while(ch!=EOF)
{
printf("%c",ch);
if(ch==' '||ch=='\n')
{
wrd++;
}
else
{
charctr++;
}
ch=fgetc(fptr);
}
printf("\n The number of words in the file %s are : %d\n",fname,wrd-2);
printf(" The number of characters in the file %s are : %d\n\n",fname,charctr-1);
}
fclose(fptr);
}
Output:
Count the number of words and characters in a file :
-----------------------------------------------------
Input the filename to be opened : sample.txt
The content of the file sample.txt are :
test line 1
test line 2
The number of words in the file test.txt are : 6
The number of characters in the file test.txt are : 18
