read file line by line and store in array c code example
Example: c read lines from text file in to array
FILE *fp; // pointer to file
char *file_name; // file path
char cur_char;
char *line = NULL; // line array
size_t len = 0;
ssize_t read;
int counter = 0;
//char content[MAX_NUM_LINES][MAX_LINE_LENGTH];
char strArray[150][150];
if (optarg == 0)
{
printf("File could not be opened.");
return;
}
// has file argument
fp = fopen(optarg, "r");
if (fp != NULL)
{
while ((read = getline(&line, &len, fp)) != -1) // loop thru lines and add them to the strArray
{
// fgets(line, 100, fp);
int i = 0;
while(line[i] != '\n'){ // loop thru the characters in the current line
strArray[counter][i] = line[i];
i++;
}
counter++;//counts the number of lines in the file
}
}
