I have below C program to print the content of a file and to count total number of characters in it.
我在C程序下面打印文件的内容并计算其中的总字符数。
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
int main()
{
/*Declaring a FILE pointer fp.*/
FILE *fp;
char ch;
int noc = 0;
/*Using fopen() to get the address of the FILE structure, and store it in fp*/
fp = fopen("poem.txt","r");
if (fp == NULL)
{
printf("Error opening file");
exit(1);
}
while(1)
{
ch = fgetc(fp);
if (ch == EOF) /* EOF will be there at the end of the file.*/
break;
noc++;
printf("%c",ch); /* Printing the content of the file character by character*/
}
//printf("\n");
close(fp); /* We need to fclose() the fp, because we have fopen()ed */
printf("\tNumber of characters: %d\n",noc);
return 0;
}
/*One interesting observation: There is an extra new line printed. Why ???*/
File poem.txt has just one line. Below is content of poem.txt
文件poem.txt只有一行。以下是poem.txt的内容
It starts with the end.
它从结束开始。
I have not hit ENTER while writing this file so it is only of one line.
我写这个文件时没有按ENTER键,所以它只有一行。
-bash-4.1$ wc poem.txt
1 5 24 poem.txt
-bash-4.1$
You can see this is confirmed by wc (Howevr I still dont understand why wc gives number of characters as 24, instead of 23).
你可以看到这是由wc确认的(Howevr我仍然不明白为什么wc给出的字符数为24,而不是23)。
Below is the output of this program.
以下是该程序的输出。
-bash-4.1$ ./a.out
It starts with the end.
Number of characters in this file: 24
-bash-4.1$
You can see that after printing all the characters of the file, the cursor is taken to the next line even though I have commented the printf("\n") after printing all the characters of the file .
您可以看到,在打印完文件的所有字符后,即使我在打印完文件的所有字符后注释了printf(“\ n”),光标也会转到下一行。
Why is the cursor taken to new line? I was expecting cursor to be in the same line after printing all the characters of the file, hence used a \t in the next printf.
为什么光标被带到新线?我打算在打印文件的所有字符后光标位于同一行,因此在下一个printf中使用\ t。
Also you see that my program says that number of characters is 24 (which is inline with "wc poem.txt" output).
你也看到我的程序说字符数是24(与“wc poem.txt”输出内联)。
So I am confused why is the cursor taken to new line after printing last character of the file ? Also why is total number of characters (noc) 24 and not 23 ?
所以我很困惑为什么在打印文件的最后一个字符后光标被带到新行?另外为什么总字符数(noc)24而不是23?
P.S. Although I have same question for the number of characters shown by "wc" you can ignore the "wc" outout except the number if lines. I may probably post a next question for that.
附:虽然我对“wc”显示的字符数有同样的问题,但你可以忽略“wc”outout,除了行数。我可能会发布下一个问题。
Thanks.
谢谢。

Why is the cursor taken to new line?
为什么光标被带到新线?
- Because the
'\n'
character is in the file. - 因为'\ n'字符在文件中。
Also you see that my program says that number of characters is 24 (which is inline with "wc poem.txt" output).
你也看到我的程序说字符数是24(与“wc poem.txt”输出内联)。
- Because the 23 characters that were printed plus the
'\n'
are all in the file. - 因为打印的23个字符加上'\ n'都在文件中。
You can try to escape the whitespace characters to see them, since they are invisible, so something like this
您可以尝试逃避空白字符以查看它们,因为它们是不可见的,所以像这样
while ((ch = fgetc(fp)) != EOF)
{
noc++;
if (isspace(ch) != 0)
printf("\\%02X", ch);
else
printf("%c", ch);
}
this way you will see each character, you will need to include <ctype.h>
通过这种方式,您将看到每个字符,您需要包含
Note: using break
is IMHO only needed in very special situations, I don't like it because it makes hard to follow the program flow.
注意:使用break是IMHO只在非常特殊的情况下才需要,我不喜欢它,因为它很难遵循程序流程。
