C Programming Code Examples C > File Operations Code Examples C Program to Count No of Lines, Blank Lines, Comments in a given Program C Program to Count No of Lines, Blank Lines, Comments in a given Program 1. Open the file and point it to the file pointer fp1. 2. Initialize the variables line_count, n_o_c_l, n_o_n_b_l, n_o_b_l, n_e_c to zero. 3. Using while loop read the next line character and store it in the variable ch. Do this until EOF. 4. Inside the loop and using if,else statements count the number of lines in the file and store it in the variable line_count. 5. Count of number of blank lines and store it in the variable n_o_b_l. 6. Check if the variable ch is equal to ;. If it is, then increment the variable n_e_c. 7. Use another while loop to count the number of comment lines and store it the variable n_o_c_l. 8. For the number of non blank lines subtract line_count from n_o_b_l. 9. Print the variables and exit. #include <stdio.h> void main(int argc, char* argv[]) { int line_count = 0, n_o_c_l = 0, n_o_n_b_l = 0, n_o_b_l = 0, n_e_c = 0; FILE *fp1; char ch; fp1 = fopen(argv[1], "r"); while ((ch = fgetc(fp1))! = EOF) { if (ch == '\n') { line_count++; } if (ch == '\n') { if ((ch = fgetc(fp1)) == '\n') { fseek(fp1, -1, 1); n_o_b_l++; } } if (ch == ';') { if ((ch = fgetc(fp1)) == '\n') { fseek(fp1, -1, 1); n_e_c++; } } } fseek(fp1, 0, 0); while ((ch = fgetc(fp1))! = EOF) { if (ch == '/') { if ((ch = fgetc(fp1)) == '/') { n_o_c_l++; } } } printf("Total no of lines: %d\n", line_count); printf("Total no of comment line: %d\n", n_o_c_l); printf("Total no of blank lines: %d\n", n_o_b_l); printf("Total no of non blank lines: %d\n", line_count-n_o_b_l); printf("Total no of lines end with semicolon: %d\n", n_e_c); }
