I am reading a file with fgetc, so each time it reads a character, the cursor positio gets changed.
Is it possible to know, after each read, the “coordinates” of the cursor on the file in terms of column and line number?
Thanks

You can use ftell
It does not give you the position in terms of row and column but gives the current position in the stream from the start.
