Reading a C file, read an extra line, why?

Question

I don\'t know exactly why a file pointer reads an extra line from a file, specifically the last line, here is the code:

FILE *fp ;
fp = fopen (\"mac_ip.txt\"         


        

Answer 1

Your code resembles to the following example

#include 

int main(void)
{
    char buffer[256];
    FILE * myfile;

    myfile = fopen("some.txt","r");

    while (!feof(myfile))
    {
        fgets(buffer,256,myfile);
        printf("%s",buffer);
    }

    fclose(myfile);

    return 0;
}
