Program to count lines, char, or words from file - c

Question

I am writing a program to count words as practice but I am running into a problem where it is incorrectly counting no matter which option I choose.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdbool.h>
#include <string.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv){
int totalcount = 0; //hold overall count
for(int i = 2; i < argc; i++){
int count = 0; //hold count for each file
int c; //temporarily hold char from file
FILE *file = fopen(argv[i], "r");
if (strcmp("-c",argv[1])){
while((c = fgetc(file)) != EOF){
count++;
}
}
else if(strcmp("-w",argv[1])){
bool toggle = false; //keeps track whether the next space or line indicates a word
while((c = fgetc(file)) != EOF){
if(!toggle && ((c >= 'a' && c <= 'z') || (c >= 'A' && c <= 'Z'))){
toggle = true;
}
if(toggle && ((c == '\n') || (c == ' '))){
count++;
toggle = false;
}
}
}
else{
while((c = fgetc(file)) != EOF){
if(c == '\n'){
count++;
}
}
}
printf("%d %s", count, argv[i]);
fclose(file);
totalcount += count;
}
if (argc > 3){
printf("%d total", totalcount);
}
return 0;
}
I don't know why my logic for char count doesn't work. I have ran through my logic when writing each section and it doesnt make sense to me why it would not me working. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

strcmp returns 0 when the strings equal, so never enter into the if/else statement
if (strcmp("-c",argv[1]) == 0){ //return value is 0
while((c = fgetc(file)) != EOF){
count++;
}
}
else if(strcmp("-w",argv[1]) == 0){ //return value is 0
bool toggle = false; //keeps track whether the next space or line indicates a word
while((c = fgetc(file)) != EOF){
if(!toggle && ((c >= 'a' && c <= 'z') || (c >= 'A' && c <= 'Z'))){
toggle = true;
}
if(toggle && ((c == '\n') || (c == ' '))){
count++;
toggle = false;
}
}
}
Hope it works for you

You can read file line by line, it may simplify the task
int get_lines_chars(const char *path)
{
/* Open templorary file */
FILE *fp = fopen(path, "r");
if (fp != NULL)
{
ssize_t read;
size_t len = 0;
char *line = NULL;
unsigned int line_no, char_no;
line_no = char_no = 0;
/* Read line-by-line */
while ((read = getline(&line, &len, fp)) != -1)
{
int curr_line = 0;
while (*line)
{
curr_line++;
char_no++;
line++;
}
line -= curr_line;
line_no++;
}
/* Cleanup */
fclose(fp);
if(line) free(line);
printf("File has %d lines and %d chars\n", line_no, char_no);
return 1;
}
return 0;
}
