    omitting an empty line

    say I have a file:

    Code:
    _____________(empty line here)
    empty :
    how do I empty the first empty line and go to the next line? I tried to do strcmp(line, "\n") == 0, but it doesn't work.. where line is the first line read?

    what should I do?

    Did you try strcmp(line,'\0') ?
    The first thing I try would be what u tried , but if it did not work maybe it could work. The func he mentioned works .
