I'm using fgets with stdin to read in some data, with the max length i read in being 25. With one of the tests I'm running on this code, there are a few hundred spaces after the data that I want - which causes the program to fail.

Can someone advise me as to how to ignore all of these extra spaces when using fgets and go to the next line?

Thanks

Is this safe to do? (does fgets terminate the buffer with null) or should I be setting the 20th byte to null after the call to fgets before i call clean. // strip new lines void clean(char *data) { while (*data) { if (*data == '\n' || *data == '\r') *data = '\0'; data++; … >>> More

beginner question here, I haven't been able to find examples that relate. I'm working on a C program that will take integer input from stdin using fgets and sscanf, and then write it to an array. However, I'm not sure how to make fgets write to the array. #define MAXINT 512 char input[MAXINT] int… >>> More
