9.8.1: LAB: Parsing food data

Given a text file containing the availability of food items, write a program that reads the information from the text file and outputs the available food items. The program first reads the name of the text file from the user. The program then reads the text file, stores the information into the four string arrays predefined in the program, and outputs the available food items in the following format: name (category) -- description

Assume the text file contains the category, name, description, and availability of at least one food item, separated by a tab character ('\t').

Hints: Use the fgets() function to read each line of the input text file. When extracting texts between the tab characters, copy the texts character-by-character until a tab character is reached. A string always ends with a null character ('\0').

Ex: If the input of the program is:

food.txt

and the contents of food.txt are:

Sandwiches Ham sandwich Classic ham sandwich Available Sandwiches Chicken salad sandwich Chicken salad sandwich Not available Sandwiches Cheeseburger Classic cheeseburger Not available Salads Caesar salad Chunks of romaine heart lettuce dressed with lemon juice Available Salads Asian salad Mixed greens with ginger dressing, sprinkled with sesame Not available Beverages Water 16oz bottled water Available Beverages Coca-Cola 16oz Coca-Cola Not available Mexican food Chicken tacos Grilled chicken breast in freshly made tortillas Not available Mexican food Beef tacos Ground beef in freshly made tortillas Available Vegetarian Avocado sandwich Sliced avocado with fruity spread Not available

the output of the program is:

Ham sandwich (Sandwiches) -- Classic ham sandwich Caesar salad (Salads) -- Chunks of romaine heart lettuce dressed with lemon juice Water (Beverages) -- 16oz bottled water Beef tacos (Mexican food) -- Ground beef in freshly made tortillas

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

int main(void) {
   const int MAX_LINES = 25;   // Maximum number of lines in the input text file
   const int MAX_STRING_LENGTH = 100;  // Maximum number of characters in each column of the input text file
   const int MAX_LINE_LENGTH = 200;  // Maximum number of characters in each line of the input text file 
   
   // Declare 4 string arrays to store the 4 columns from the input text file
   char column1[MAX_LINES][MAX_STRING_LENGTH];
   char column2[MAX_LINES][MAX_STRING_LENGTH];
   char column3[MAX_LINES][MAX_STRING_LENGTH];
   char column4[MAX_LINES][MAX_STRING_LENGTH];
   
   /* Type your code here. */

   return 0;
}
