Reading one line at a time in C

Question

Which method can be used to read one line at a time from a file in C?

I am using the fgets function, but it\'s not working. It\'s reading the space

Answer 1

Use fgets to read from the line, and then use getc(...) to chew up the newline or end-of-line to continue reading....here's an example of forever reading a line...

// Reads 500 characters or 1 line, whichever is shorter
char c[500], chewup;
while (true){
    fgets(c, sizeof(c), pFile);
    if (!feof(pFile)){
        chewup = getc(pFile); // To chew up the newline terminator
        // Do something with C
    }else{
        break; // End of File reached...
    }
}
