I have a working c file which count lines from a text file.
Is there a function that filters out lines with comments(lines started with //)?

So when I load in a text file with a c code, it only has to count the lines without comment.

I would investigate the functionality bundled up in the string library...especially functions like strstr().

No. That's the beauty of C -- you get to write all the filter functions yourself so they do exactly what you want.
