Make the loop stop after print all character?

[Blane]

#include <stdio.h>

main()
{
	char linetext[12];
	int i;

	printf("Enter a line of text:");
	scanf("%[^\n]", &linetext);

	for(i=0;i<10;i++)
		printf("%c", linetext[i]);
	printf("\n");

}

From the above code, I'm trying to figure out what I can do so that the loop will stop printing the character after null, so that no rubbish will come out behind null character.
I'm a newbie, I tried to solve it, but I'm out of idea.
If you don't want to show any example, do provide some hint (not the hard one), I'll try it, example do appreciate though.

[camel-man]

try a while loop ex. while(linetext[i] != '\0')
print
i++;

[Blane]

try a while loop ex. while(not '\0')

I see, haven't figure out add (') between \0...
I tried another method though, doesn't change to while loop, hope you don't mind...
here is the code segment:

for(i=0;i<10;i++)
		if(linetext[i] == '\0')
			break;
		else
		printf("%c", linetext[i]);

Is this more longer than what you'd mean?

Edit: Ok it worked, thanks for the info, working on more difficult one now.

Ok, so a couple of things to note:

1. How to define main-FAQ()
2. Your scanf function is unsafe since you didn't provide a width parameter. Read through: How to get a line of text from the user-FAQ

Additionally, I am not sure what you are using to learn C, but I would suggest taking a look at our C Made Easy Tutorials. Those will get you going in the right direction.

Look up strlen() in your library documentation...

or scanf for that matter....... Good Morning Tater!
