Is this homework?

[simple]

i guess you can say it is a homework (actually it is an assignment). but just because it is 'given' to me doesnt mean i dont want to learn about it and do it myself. its just that i am not able to get any starting steps and i am really pressed for time..
thanks again....c ya!!

Why does it have to be C only?

EditPlus supports almost every language and counts lines...

[bla!!]

Here's a tip.

Check for the extension on the file (C files have a .c on the end)
Then to count the # of lines, open the file and loop using the readline() function

If it's meant to be more elaborate, let us know. We can help with more ideas, but you probably won't get any code written out here for ya.

if you mean instructions, delimited by ';', just count the number of ';' in the file, you can use fscanf to do it.
If you mean the number o lines in the file count the number of '\n'.
To know if you have reached the end of the file compare the result of fscanf with EOF, end of file.
