Here, we will read data from a file and capitalize the first letter of every word and update data into the file.

Program:

The source code to capitalize the first letter of every word in a file is given below. The given program is compiled and executed using GCC compile on UBUNTU 18.04 OS successfully.

// C program to capitalize the first letter
// of every word in a file

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

void writeData(char* str)
{
    FILE* fp;

    //Write data into a file.
    fp = fopen("includehelp.txt", "w");
    if (fp == NULL)
        return;

    fwrite(str, 1, strlen(str), fp);
    fclose(fp);
}

void readData(char* str)
{
    FILE* fp;

    char ch = 0;
    int cnt = 0;

    fp = fopen("includehelp.txt", "r");
    if (fp == NULL)
        return;

    ch = fgetc(fp);
    while (ch != EOF) {
        str[cnt++] = ch;
        ch = fgetc(fp);
    }
    str[cnt] = 0;
    fclose(fp);
}

int main()
{
    char wrtStr[32] = "this is india";
    char readStr[32];

    int flg = 1;
    int cnt = 0;

    writeData(wrtStr);
    readData(readStr);

    while (readStr[cnt] != 0) {
        if (flg == 1 && readStr[cnt] != 0x20) {
            readStr[cnt] = readStr[cnt] - 32;
            flg = 0;
        }

        if (readStr[cnt] == 0x20 && flg == 0)
            flg = 1;

        cnt++;
    }

    writeData(readStr);

    memset(readStr, 0x00, sizeof(readStr));
    readData(readStr);

    printf("Original data from file: %s\n", wrtStr);
    printf("Update data from file: %s\n", readStr);

    return 0;
}

Output:

Original data from file: this is india
Update data from file: This Is India

Explanation:

Here, we created three function readData(), writeData(), and main(). The readData() function is used to read data from file. The writeData() function is used to write data into file.

In the main() function, we wrote data into the file. Then we read data from the file and capitalize the first letter of every word and update data into the file. At last, we printed original data and updated data.
