Can anyone please help me in finding the total number of words in a file
I get the newlines, characters and blankspaces correctly but counting words ia problem.I have tried many ways but it didnt help.
Here is my code......
#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>

main(int argc , char *argv[])
{
FILE *fp;
int ch;
int chr=0;
int totchr=0;
int bspc=0,totbspc=0;
int nline=0;
int word=0,totwrd=0;
int i=0;

fp=fopen(argv[1],"r");
if(argc != 2)
{
printf("\tInsufficient arguments\n");
printf("\tusage: wrd <filename>\n");
exit(0);
}
if(fp==NULL)
{
printf("Error In File Opening\n");
exit(0);
}
else
{
while((ch=fgetc(fp))!=EOF)
{
if(ch == ' ')
{
bspc++;
}
if(ch == '\n')
{
nline++;
}
chr++;
word++;


}
}
//word = bspc + nline;
totchr += chr;
totbspc += bspc;
totwrd += word;

printf("\nFile %s has\n", argv[1]);
printf("\n\twhite spaces are: %d\n", totbspc);
printf("\twords are: %d\n", totwrd);
printf("\tcharacters are: %d\n", totchr);
printf("\tlines are: %d\n\n", nline);

fclose(fp);
}







plz help me!!!!

Try:

(increment word whenever you encounter a space or newline). You should treat also tabs ('\t')...

Also, please, when you post use "code" tag.

completely incorrect.
You should increment wordcount only if you encounter space(tab,newline) after non-space(non-tab,non-newline).
consider this:
one word, many spaces.

True, counting words is not as trivial as it may first seem.
Here is URL to a C-quick-reference. The last paragraph is a 'wc' program given as an example. It accepts options to count characters, lines or words.
