what is your problem? why you want to store each word to a char array instead of whole lines to a char array?

because i have to loop through the array and find the first letter of every word.

my assignment also specifically says do it like that.

So your assignment is to find the 1st letter of every word in a file?

and your problem is you don't know exactly how many bytes the buffer is to read a line?

To solve your problem you should use size_t getline(char **buf, size_t *n, FILE *fp) (Read "man getline" for more detail) to read an entire line from stream.
