constant char lengths are getting me down

[bennyandthejets]

i have a little program which takes a keyboard input from fgets() and puts it in a string (char cmdLine[15])

it then passes that string as a command line to a program which loads the bitmap specified by the command line

the problem is that i dont know how to edit the string so that if i dont enter a full 15 characters, it wont pass along NULL characters and all that.

what i mean is that if the filename I pass along is "picture.bmp", the bitmap loader will tell me that it cant find the file:
"picture.bmp
"

notice there is a newline included there, i assume that the newline is being passed along in the char.

here is the launcher:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <process.h>

int main()
{
    char cmdLine[15];

    printf("Command Line: ");
    fgets(cmdLine,sizeof(cmdLine),stdin);

    spawnl(P_OVERLAY,"unchain4.exe","unchain4.exe",cmdLine,NULL);

    return 0;
}

obviously, cmdLine contains some unwanted characters, but how do i get rid of them?

Something like this

if (cmdLine[strlen(cmdline)-1] == '\n') cmdLine[strlen(cmdline)-1] = '\0';
