Load the file into memory. Scan the file for 1 type of error, print errors to the screen and scan for another type of error. Continue the process for each type of error. Making a perfect one would be vary hard, but if you only need to check for a few specific errors, it would be easy. For example, assuming that there is a new line after each semicolon except for lines that start with "#" would be easer than trying to find when a line is suppost to end.
Good luck.

The OP is basically looking for the front end of a C compiler.
This is far from being a trivial problem.
lex / yacc / bison are parser generator tools (perfect for this problem).
