When you reach the end of the file, close the file and return the counter value. int count_digits (const char* fname) { // Returns -1 on error (test global errno for system-specific errors). FILE* f; int count; char c; // Open file for read-only access (text-mode by default). FILE* f = fopen (fname, "r"); if (f==NULL) return (-1); count = 0; // Read and test each character, incrementing the count whenever the character is a digit. while (fscanf (f, "%d", &c) == 1) if (c>='0' && c<='9') ++count; fclose (f); return count; }
