I want to read a ASCII Text file, therefore I do allocate some memory with
malloc() and therefore I need the filesize, more exactly the number of
characters. At the moment I use this to get the file size:
filelength(fileno(FILE *))
This returns me the number of bytes of the file, but the number of chars is
a little bit smaller, because of the <LF><CR>.
So is there a standart way to get the number of chars in a file?
Thanks to everyone who could help,
Ingo
