General C questions are better posted to comp.lang.c, but since you're
here...

Use something like:

#include <stdio.h>

FILE *f;
int c;  /* Not `char'; `EOF' is outside the range of a `char'. */
f = fopen(filename, "r");  /* for "r"ead */
do {
   c = getc(f);
   if (c != EOF) do_something_with_character(c);
} while (c != EOF);
/* You've reached the end of the file */
fclose(f);

If that doesn't help, be specific about what you want to accomplish and
what you've tried.
