Are you wanting the total number of lines in the file? Is the text file
am a boy
am studying +2
am from chennai
(on 3 seperate lines)

you should look at fgets, and fopen functions

I would recommend cplusplus.com. In their Documentation section, they have an excellent tutorial on both file streams (you are looking for a file input stream), as well as strings. I would recommend looking into getline() and strtok(). That way you can get an entire line from a file and find (specifically the next, but if you iterate until strtok() fails, then you have gotten all of the "tokens" such as 'am', on that line) all the values you were looking for.
