This small program will read your file with all char included.
Once you get further into "c" you will learn about structures & objects,
which are much better for file applications.
lstar36
#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

void    main(void)
{
    FILE    *stream;
    char     string[132];// be sure to make this array as big as your
longest string
    char    *eof;
    int     size;

    size = sizeof(string)+1;
    eof = malloc(size); // allocate memory for string
    stream = fopen("Myfile.txt","r");
    do
    {
        // returns a NULL on end of file
        eof = fgets(string, size, stream); //reads a max of 132 char or
untill new line.
        printf("%s", string); //
    }while(eof != NULL);
}
