reading a verilog file line by line in c

i have to read a verilog file in c ..how will be the code in general?

Do you just need to read it line by line, or do you need to actually tokenize and parse the verilog language?

Then unless you already have a strong foundation in compiler development, I'd suggest starting with something like the dragon book. You can also search google for tutorials on writing a compiler, and focus on the tokenizing/parsing parts.

But since you're doing that, I'd wager you'll also need to interpret the language at some point, and the end result will be a fairly complete compiler. Such a project is far too large for anyone to simply tell you how the code will be, by the way.

how will be the c programing code which will have all the basic gates information(or,and,nand,nor,exor,exnor,not....)
