I am trying to count the number of lines of files with this function but things finish with an ifinite loop !!

#include<stdio.h> #include<stdlib.h> long count(char * fileName ) {     long compteur = 0 ;     char caracter ;    fich = fopen( fileName,"r") ;    if ( fich != NULL )    {       do        {                 caracter = fgetc(fich) ;                 if ( caracter = '\n' )                          compteur++ ;       }while ( caractere != EOF ) ;  }  fclose(fich) ;  return compteur ; } ;

the main function is simple : ( "dictionnary.txt" is a file that contain 8 words, each word in a line) int main() { printf(" the number of words is : %ld", count("dictionnary.txt") ); return 0 ; }

where is your main() function? Also if the file was created in Windows, I think the eol chatacter is '\r'
