How can I compare user input to string stored into file? - c

Question

I gotta write a file-handing code which will compare the string received from the user to a string of char stored into a file in C. I've trying since yesterday. I have no clue on how to do that. I tried many things, but nothing seems to work.

int main (int argc, const char * argv[]){
FILE *file = fopen("file.txt", "w");
char text[] = "hi hi hi hi hi hi"; //string to be allocated into the file
char c, userInput[] = "hi"; // simulates the user input
int i = 0, count = 0;
if (file == NULL) {
printf("Failure to create file.\n");
exit(1);
} else {
for (i = 0; i < strlen(text); i++) {
printf("Inserting: [%c]\n", text[i]);
fputc(text[i], file);
}
printf("All done.\n");
}
fclose(file);
fopen("file.txt", "r");
while ((c = fgetc(file) != EOF)){
fscanf(file, "%s", text);
if (strcmp(userInput, text) == 0) {
count++;
}
}
fclose(file);
printf("Many times present: %d\n", count);
return 0;
}
My problem is... the space between every word of the string in the file, because I have to check if there's another word starting, for instance... (Hi Hi)... I thought about using something like this in my code but I did not work as well.
while ((c = fgetc(file) != EOF)){ // While the end of the file does not happen keep running.
if ((c = fgetc(file) != ' ')) { //If an blank space is found... I does not make any sense actually. I'm desesperated.
strcmp(userInput, text){
count++
}
}
}

while ((c = fgetc(file) != EOF)){
if ((c = fgetc(file) != ' ')) {
strcmp(userInput, text){
count++
}
}
}
There are three major problems here.
First, c = fgetc(file) != EOF is the same as c = (fgetc(file) != EOF) which obviously is not what you want. It should be (c = fgetc(file)) != EOF
Second, the above statement has (provided you did not get an EOF) actually read a character. So the if statement should be if(c != ' ')
Third, c needs to be declared as an int
