GETS(3S)GETS(3S)NAME
gets, fgets - get a string from a stream
SYNOPSIS
#include <stdio.h>
char *gets(s)
char *s;
char *fgets(s, n, stream)
char *s;
FILE *stream;
DESCRIPTION
Gets reads a string into s from the standard input stream stdin. The string is terminated by a newline character, which is replaced in s
by a null character. Gets returns its argument.
Fgets reads n-1 characters, or up through a newline character, whichever comes first, from the stream into the string s. The last charac-
ter read into s is followed by a null character. Fgets returns its first argument.
SEE ALSO puts(3S), getc(3S), scanf(3S), fread(3S), ferror(3S)DIAGNOSTICS
Gets and fgets return the constant pointer NULL upon end of file or error.
BUGS
Gets deletes a newline, fgets keeps it, all in the name of backward compatibility.

Gets is not present in the Minix-vmd C library for reasons that should be obvious. Use fgets instead.

Hi all,
I have this method to read a string from a STDIN:

inputBuffer = '\0';
}
All work fine but if i... (1 Reply)
I've been having trouble with reading past the end-of-file in C. Can anyone find my stupid mistake?
This is the minimal code needed to cause the error for me:

return;
pari_sp ltop = avma;
char line;
while(fgets(line, 1100, f) != NULL)

hello,
i'm trying to write a C-program that reads a file line by line.
(and searches each line for a given string)
This file is an special ASCII-database-file, with a lot of entries.
I checked the line with most length, and it was about 4000 characters.
With google i found several... (4 Replies)
Hi,
I have a string like this,
char str ="This, a sample string.\\nThis is the second line, \\n \\n, we will have one blank line";
if I want to use strtok() to seperate the string, which token should I use?
I tried "\n", "\\n", either not working.

I was wondering what is the correct way to read in data "one-part-per-line" as compared with "one-record-per-line" formats into the same structure in C?
