Reading and displaying each line from a CSV file in C by using fgets() and puts()

We have one test.csv file having 35 rows of data. We will write one program to display each line of data inside a loop. You can download the sample test.csv file here.

#include <stdio.h>
int main(void){
FILE *fpt; // file pointer
char c,d;
char str[50];
fpt=fopen("test.csv","r"); // file already exit for reading
if(fpt==NULL)
    printf("Can't open file ");
else {
while(fgets(str,50,fpt)){
puts(str);
}
 
}
fclose(fpt);
return 0;
}

Output is here.

id,name,class,mark,sex

1,John Deo,Four,75,female

2,Max Ruin,Three,85,male

3,Arnold,Three,55,male

Getting the first line of data

In the code by changing the while to if we will get one line of data only.

if(fgets(str,50,fpt)){
puts(str);
}

Output

id,name,class,mark,sex
