How to read a large file line by line?

Question

I want to read a file line by line, but without completely loading it in memory.

My file is too large to open in memory, and if try to do so I always get out of memo

Answer 1

Be careful with the 'while(!feof ... fgets()' stuff, fgets can get an error (returnfing false) and loop forever without reaching the end of file. codaddict was closest to being correct but when your 'while fgets' loop ends, check feof; if not true, then you had an error.
