Using the fgets(fread) with the optional size parameter allows you to read in files that might be too large to read in one pass. you can substitute the POSIX character classes ([:alpha:], etc) with something like [A-Za-z] or use perl compatible regex stuff with the preg functions if you have them compiled in.
