Reading Lines (c in linux)

Good day,

I have a text file with this kind of input.

5 ABCDE
1000 ABBBB
1001 BCCDA

Can somebody help me start on how I will read the first line only where the first number
signifies the number of questions, then the next one will be the correct answer.

the second line is the ID No and the answer of that person and compare it?

I know I have to make a struct for the 2nd line and the succeeding lines, but how can I skip the first line?

how can I also check each and every character using char?

thanks

 

You can write a Parse line fumnction which reads each line from file.

For example,
file.txt contains....
ABC123;12344567
PQR678;45304912
etc....

Code:

int  iLenName;
int  iPosValue;
int  iLenValue;
char pLine[BUFFER*2]= {0};
char pClientNo[CLIENT_NO]= {0};
char pCommitDate[DATE_LEN+1]	= {0};
FILE fptr = fopen("file.txt", "r");
if (fptr == NULL)
{
while (fgets(pLine, 500, fptr))
   {
   if (parseLine(pLine, &iLenName, &iPosValue, &iLenValue))
    {
       strncpy(pClientNo, pLine, iLenName);
       pClientNo[iLenName] = '\0';
 
       strncpy(pCommitDate, pLine + iPosValue, iLenValue);
       pCommitDate[iLenValue] = '\0';
    }
int parseLine(char * pLine,
      int  * pLenName,
      int  * pPosValue,
      int  * pLenValue)
{
  int  i         = 0;
  while (pLine[i] && pLine[i] != ' ' && pLine[i] != '\t' &&
         pLine[i] != ';' && pLine[i] != '#')
  {
    i++;
  }
  if (i == 0)
  {
    return 0;
  }
  *pLenName = i;
  while (pLine[i] && (pLine[i] == ' ' || pLine[i] == '\t'))
  {
    i++;
  }
  if (pLine[i++] != ';')
  {
   return 0;
  }
  while (pLine[i] && (pLine[i] == ' ' || pLine[i] == '\t'))
  {
    i++;
  }
  *pPosValue = i++;
  while (pLine[i] && pLine[i] != '\n' && pLine[i] != '"')
  {
    i++;
  }
  *pLenValue = i - *pPosValue;
  return 1;
}
