fscanf and newline character

Question

I have fscanf to read lines of setting from a configuration file. Those settings have strictly predefined format which looks like

name1=option1;
name2=option         


        

Answer 1

This will work:

fscanf(configuration,"%[^=]=%[^;];%[^\n]",name,option,dummy);

You will have to consume the new line character.Otherwise,the newline is left in the input stream.
