fgets

Using fgets to input a string, I have doubts related to length of string read. For example, consider the following program. char str[50]; int i; int len; printf("Enter name:\n"); fgets(str,11,stdin); len = strlen(str); printf("len : %d\n",len); If I enter 123456789 , strlen gives 10. If I enter 1234567890 , strlen given is 10 again ?? I think strlen is considering newline also for string length. Am I correct? (I understand fgets using newline as part of string) What's wrong with (2) where I enter exactly 10 characters, Here string length should be 11 right? 10 + 1 (for newline) = 11 fgets

I heard using gets() is bad in C programming and it's safer using fgets... So I am using fgets. However, I encounter a problem with fgets: I entered too much characters and somehow, it overflows. How to get rid of the extra input characters? char answer[4]; char answer2[4]; fgets(answer,sizeof(answer),stdin); printf("answer: %s\n",answer); fgets(answer2,sizeof(answer2),stdin); printf("answer2: %s\n",answer2); For example, for the first fgets, I enter 123456, the output I get is answer: 123 answer2: 456 How do I remove the 456 from going into the next fgets input? I want the output like this

How can I get the "$buffer" value into a string, and use it outside the fopen and fclose functions? Thanks. $handle = @fopen("http://www.example.com/", "r"); if ($handle) { while (!feof($handle)) { $buffer = fgetss($handle, 5000); echo $buffer ; } fclose($handle); } $handle = @fopen("http://www.example.com/", "r"); $buffer = ''; if ($handle) { while (!feof($handle)) { $buffer .= fgetss($handle, 5000); } fclose($handle); } Ale Try file_get_contents() : $buffer = file_get_contents("/my/file.txt"); The easiest way is to use file_get_contents: $buffer = file_get_contents("http://www.exemple.com");

Bit of background, I'm writing a program that plays the game "boxes" it runs in linux command line and is written in C. There's a prompt that waits for user input and then is read with fgets() and interpretted etc. As part of the task specification I have to return a specific error if I reach "End of file while waiting for user input". I understand that fgets() returns null when it reaches EOF... but say I have fgets(input,max_buffer,stdin); in a prompt loop if the user exits prematurely say with CTRL+C or CTRL+D does this mean that input == NULL? Can I even detect when a user does this with

I have written code that uses the fgets function with multiple conditions that call other functions within the code, namely aMethod and bMethod. int main(void) { char buffer[1024]; while (fgets(buffer, 1024, stdin)) { if ((strcasecmp(buffer,"a")) == 0) { aMethod(); } if ((strcasecmp(buffer, "b")) == 0) { bMethod(); } } } I'm not sure why it doesn't reach the if statements. Any help would be great, thankyou. If in doubt, print it out: int main(void) { char buffer[1024]; while (fgets(buffer, 1024, stdin)) { fprintf(stderr, "BUFFER is [%s]\n", buffer); /* <==== */ if ((strcasecmp(buffer,"a")) ==

I am able to read an entire string in a line using fgets() but fscanf() is not doing so. According to PHP manual fscanf — Parses input from a file according to a format The function fscanf() is similar to sscanf() , but it takes its input from a file associated with handle and interprets the input according to the specified format, which is described in the documentation for sprintf() . fgets — Gets line from file pointer Gets a line from file pointer. Since fscanf() supports formats as mentioned above I can use %s to read an entire line but instead it reads only one word. The PHP

After a call to scanf("%d", &variable); we are left with a newline hanging at the stdin , which should be cleared before a call to fgets , or we end up feeding it a newline and making it return prematurely. I've found answers suggesting using scanf("%*[^\n]%*c"); after the first call to scanf to discard the newline and others suggesting using scanf("%*[^\n]\n"); . Theoretically, both should work: The first would consume everything that isn't a newline (but not including the newline itself) and then consume exactly one character (the newline). The second would consume everything that isn't a

I try to use file_get_contents form PHP but it's not working. There is my code : $filename = "/opt/gemel/test.txt"; if($filecontent = file_get_contents($filename)){ $nom = fgets(STDIN); file_put_contents($filename, $nom, FILE_APPEND); } else echo "fail"; And my file test.txt is empty. (0 octets). He exists but he is empty. When i write something into it, my code works perfectly but if he is empty my code echo "fails" Why that, why he can't open the file text.txt ? The function file_get_contents returns the string that's in the file. If the file contains no data, then file_get_contents returns
