C Code for String matching[Head First C] doesn't seem to work

Question

#include 
#include 

char tracks[][80] = {
\"I left my heart in Harvard Med School\",
\"Newark, Newark - a wonderful town\",
\"Dancing         


        

Answer 1

The problem with the code above is that it doesn't account for the fact that fgets leaves the newline in the string. So when you type town and hit enter, you'll end up searching for "town\n".

A cheap way to solve this would be to fix the string after calling fgets

search_for[strlen(search_for) - 1] = 0;
