How do I read from severals files in C?

I am working on a program which have to read from txt files. I know that there's a function called fopen("myfile.txt","rt"), but what if I have 10 files? Do i need to call the function 10 times (a call for every file)?

Yes. One function call per file is needed.

Yes. But if you perform the same routines on each of those functions, abstract that behaviour into a function that accepts the name of a file. Now call that function 10 times, once with each file name.

void read_from_text_file(char const *filepath);

read_from_text_file("myfile.txt");
read_from_text_file("myfile2.txt");
...

This is a core concept in computer science. Buzzwords include "abstraction", "routine", "reusability", etc.
