Another Implementation

[The Advocate]

Is it possible to implement this C code in another way??

[CODE=c]void buffer_Reset()
{
int variable;

for(variable = 0;variable < b_Size;variable ++)
bufferPointer[variable] = '\0';

fclose(file);

free(buffer);

file = fopen(input,"r" );

numOfLines = 0;

buffer_Size = 0;

while(!feof(fil e))
{
char c = getc(file);
if(c == '\n'){ //count lines (except last line)
numOfLines++;
}

bufferPointer[buffer_Size++] = c;
}
numOfLines++;

buffer = (char*)calloc(b _Size,sizeof(ch ar));

int newLineBuffer[buffer_Size];

for(variable = 0;variable < b_Size;variable ++)
newLineBuffer[variable] = 0;

for(variable = 0;variable < buffer_Size;var iable++)
{
buffer[variable] = bufferPointer[variable];
if(buffer[variable] == '\n')
newLineBuffer[variable - 1] = 1;
}

buffer[buffer_Size-1] = '\0';
}[/CODE]

There are probably a lot of other ways to do it - what exactly does this code do? Why are you looking for another way to do it?
