Here's a sample (untested)

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

#define STRIP_NEWLINE(S) do { char *tmp=strchr(S,'\n'); if (tmp) *tmp=0; } while (0)

#define MAXLINE 100 /* suit to taste */
int main(void)
{
FILE *fp=fopen(&quot;csv.txt&quot;,&quot;r&quot;
if (!fp) {
perror(&quot;fopen&quot;
} else {
char line[MAXLINE+1];
while (fgets(line,sizeof line,fp)) {
char *field;
int fnum;
STRIP_NEWLINE(line);
for (fnum=1,field=strtok(line,&quot;,&quot;
field;
++fnum,field=strtok(NULL,&quot;,&quot) {
printf(&quot;field %d=%s\n&quot;,fnum,field);
}
}
}
return 0;
}
