Google "C file I/O". This is not really a *nix question, as the file opening/closing/reading code is not platform specific.

You are new to Unix, thats fine
But you know C I guess.
Just write your code in some c file say test.c.
You'll face the problem that which files to include.
For example. for opening your text file you'll use fopen
then just do 'man 2 fopen'. this will show you the list of files to include for this system call.
Compile your code by following command:
gcc -o test.c test
if you get any error then solve it or I am here to help you.
then run your binary as:
./test
You can write your code using vi editor or any thing else you like.

vi is just an editor, like notepad in windows.
It is not IDE like turbo c where you can execute the code.
You can use other editors like 'nano','gedit'.

I suggest you 'fopen' because you were from windows platform.
There are standard POSIX compliant system calls on linux/unix like open,read,close,write etc.
including stdio.h alone can bring the support for fopen.
You can use open,read,close,write etc. sys calls by including following files.
sys/types.h,sys/stat.h,fcntl.h

Happy Coding.....
