Inserting lines when copying file.

[td0g03]

Hello, I am trying to write a code to copy a file which I can do as you can see below.

void  copy  ()
{
//	Local Definitions 
	int c;
	int closeStatus;
	FILE* spProverbs ;
	FILE* spProverbsCopy;
//	Statements 
 	printf("Begin file copy\n");

	if (!(spProverbs = fopen ("Proverbs.TXT", "r")))
		{
		 printf("Error opening Proverbs.TXT for reading");
		 exit (101);
		} // if open input  
	if (!(spProverbsCopy = fopen ("ProverbsCopy.TXT", "w")))
		{
		 printf("Error opening ProverbsCopy for writing");
		 exit(201);
		} // if open output 

		while ((c = fgetc(spProverbs)) != EOF)
		fputc(c, spProverbsCopy);

	fclose(spProverbs);
	closeStatus = fclose(spProverbsCopy);
	if (closeStatus == EOF)
	   {
	    printf("File close error.\a\n");
	    exit(200);
	   } // if close error 
	printf("File successfully created\n");

	return;

}// copy

My question is do I insert numbers. Let me do an example

PROVERBS.TXT 

Between the devil and the deep sea:  To choose between 
two equally  bad  alternatives in  a  serious  dilemma.

Where there's a will there's a way:  When a person 
really wants to  do something,  he will  find a way of 
doing  it.

A friend in need is a friend indeed:  A friend 
who  helps when one is in  trouble is a real friend.

Discretion is the better part of valor:  If you say
discretion is the better part of valor,  you  mean 
that avoiding a dangerous or   unpleasant situation 
is   sometimes the most  sensible thing to do.

Great talkers are little doers: Those people who 
talk a lot and are always  teaching others usually 
do   not   do   much   work.

I can copy the file fine, but really have no clue how to insert numbers in the first of each line. If anyone could give me a clue or example that would be great. Thanks in advance.

Well, you can check if a character is a newline. If it is, after you output it to the copied file, you can output a number plus ".)". You will have to keep track of how many lines you have printed with a variable - starting at 2 (do you know why?). Also, you will have to manually output "1.)" to the file before anything else is output.

Hello, I'm sorta comfused. Anyway you could provide me with an example? Thanks again.

new line would "c == \n" that would tell me if it would be a new line or not? Sorry, I'm really confused on this problem. Been stuck on it for a few hours now.

Well, c == '\n' rather than c == \n, but yes, that would tell you if the character was a newline character.
