I am confused that how to give break line after every word which is present in a file.
Words in text file
Name Date of birth <---- I put this in code
John 02\02\1999 <---- I want to jump to this line
I want this
Here is your: Name
Here is your: Date of Birth
But it is giving me this
Here is your: N
Here is your: a
Here is your: m
Here is your: e
And I don't know how to get it.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(){
FILE * fr = fopen("/home/bilal/Documents/file.txt","r");
char ch;
if(fr != NULL){
while(!feof(fr)){
ch = fgetc(fr);
printf("Here is your %c\n: ", ch);
}
fclose(fr);
}
else{
printf("Unable to read file.");
}
return 0;
}

Answer 1

Within your while loop instead of immediately printing the character that you read, store the char in a char array. Add an if statement that does a comparison that checks if the read char is a space character. If it is you should print the stored array and set the index of the array back to 0.
Example:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(){
FILE * fr = fopen("file.txt","r");
char ch[100];
int index = 0;
if(fr != NULL){
while((ch[index] = fgetc(fr)) != EOF){
//printf("%c\n", ch[index]);
if(ch[index] == ' ') {
ch[index] = '\0';
printf("Here is your: %s\n", ch);
index = 0;
}
else {
index++;
}
}
fclose(fr);
}
else{
printf("Unable to read file.");
}
return 0;
}

Based on the line of text of the file provided we can assume that if the first letter of the word is in uppercase then it is the start of the next sentence:
Name Date of birth ID card number Phone number Address Account Fixing year
And use this to divide the line into sentences.
So here is the code by Christopher changed to group the words into sentences:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <ctype.h>
int main(){
FILE * fr = fopen("file.txt","r");
char ch[100];
int index = 0;
if(fr != NULL){
while((ch[index] = fgetc(fr)) != EOF){
if(index > 0 && ch[index-1] == ' ' && isupper(ch[index])) {
ch[index-1] = '\0';
printf("Here is your: %s\n", ch);
ch[0] = ch[index];
index = 1;
}
else {
index++;
}
}
ch[index] = '\0';
printf("Here is your: %s\n", ch);
fclose(fr);
}
else{
printf("Unable to read file.");
}
return 0;
}
