Thread: my output is weird

Hello

I have this as my standard input:

Buffalo Bill's
defunct
who used to
ride a watersmooth-silver
stallion
and break onetwothreefourfive pigeonsjustlikethat

( one tab on 3rd and 4th lines, 3 tabs on 5th line)



and my cod is this:

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
main(){

File* fptr;

int c;

fptr = fopen( "poetery.out", "w");

while ( getchar() != EOF )

     if( ( c = getchar() ) != EOF )

     fputc( c, fptr );
fclose(fptr);
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

output is:

ufl ilsdfnt h sdt
rd aesot-ivr tlinadbekoewtreoriepgosutieht



can anybody explain why it does this? it's an excersize from a book, question and solution, but it doesn't explain why, and I can't figure out what is happening.

Thank you
