How to use feof(FILE *f)?

Question

I\'m having a hard time with a do-while loop, that is supposed to stop when we reach the end of the file. Here\'s the loop code:

do  {
    if (pcompanyRow[0]

I suggest use both fgets() and feof(). Last string in file might have \n or might not. If you use only feof(), you can skip (lost) last line.

 for(;;)
 {char *pc;

  pc=fgets(buf,sizeof(buf),fd);

  if(!pc)
    {//it may be read error or end of file
      if(feof(fd))
        {//it is end of file, normal exit from for
         break;      
        }
       else
        {//it is i/o error 
         fclose(fd);
         return 2;
        }
    }
}//for
