Q: Write a program to take C program as input and identify all types of comment line inside

the program. After identifying all types of comment line it’s need to be written back to a
separate file.

CODE:-

#include <stdio.h>

#include <stdlib.h>

void extract_comments(const char *input_file, const char *output_file) {

FILE *infile = fopen(input_file, "r");

FILE *outfile = fopen(output_file, "w");

if (!infile || !outfile) {

printf("Error opening file.\n");

return;

char ch, next_ch;

int in_single_comment = 0, in_multi_comment = 0;

while ((ch = fgetc(infile)) != EOF) {

// Check for single-line comment (//)

if (ch == '/' && (next_ch = fgetc(infile)) == '/') {

in_single_comment = 1;

fputc(ch, outfile);

fputc(next_ch, outfile);

while ((ch = fgetc(infile)) != EOF && ch != '\n') {

fputc(ch, outfile);

}
fputc('\n', outfile);

in_single_comment = 0;

// Check for multi-line comment (/* ... */)

else if (ch == '/' && next_ch == '*') {

in_multi_comment = 1;

fputc(ch, outfile);

fputc(next_ch, outfile);

while ((ch = fgetc(infile)) != EOF) {

fputc(ch, outfile);

if (ch == '*' && (next_ch = fgetc(infile)) == '/') {

fputc(next_ch, outfile);

fputc('\n', outfile);

in_multi_comment = 0;

break;

fclose(infile);

fclose(outfile);

int main() {

char input_file[100], output_file[100];

printf("Enter the name of the input C file: ");


scanf("%s", input_file);

printf("Enter the name of the output file: ");

scanf("%s", output_file);

extract_comments(input_file, output_file);

printf("Comments extracted successfully to %s\n", output_file);

return 0;
