reversing char array

[LATCH100]

so im suppose to open a file, create a char array and use getline to read lines from the file and put it in the array. Then im suppose to create a function that will count the character in a char array and shouldnt include the null character, return in to the main function , create a third function to reverse the lines.
i messed up by testing out only one line of words on my file instead of multiple lines and now it doesnt count the characters correctly. can someone help me. ill gladly specify more if anyone is still confused. thanks
file:
how are you
doing today?
i am doing
pretty good

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>

using namespace std;
char charCounter(char array[], const int);
void reverseChar(char array[], int);


int main()
{
   int x = 0;
   const int VAL = 100;
   char array[VAL];
   ifstream file;
   file.open("datEx.txt");


   if (!file)
   {
      cout << "File did not open." << endl;
      system("pause");
      return -1;
   }

   int numberofchar;
   while (file.getline(array, VAL))
   {
       numberofchar=charCounter(array,VAL);
      
     
   } // end of while loop
   cout << " " << endl;
   cout << numberofchar << endl;

   reverseChar(array, numberofchar);
   cout << " " << endl;
   



   file.close();
   system("pause");
   return 0;
}

char charCounter(char array[], const int)
{
   int x = 0;
   
   while (array[x] != '\0')
   {

      cout << array[x];
      x++;
      

   }

   return x;
}

void reverseChar(char array[], int numberofchar)
{
   int u;
   
      for (u = numberofchar - 1; u >= 0; u--)
      {
         cout << array[u];
      }
   

}

why dont u use strlen and strrev? o.0 0.o

You are printing data immediately in a function so you can only do something like:

int numberofchar;
while (file.getline(array, VAL))
{
   numberofchar=charCounter(array,VAL);
   cout << "    ";
   reverseChar(array, numberofchar);
   cout << endl;    
}

or like:

while (file.getline(array, VAL))
{
   numberofchar=charCounter(array,VAL);
   cout << endl;
}

cout << endl;
file.close();
file.open("datEx.txt");

while (file.getline(array, VAL))
{
    reverseChar(array, numberofchar);
    cout << endl;
}
