symbols returned when reading file

Hi, I am currently making a program which has to read a certain line from a file, this is no problem, but the string returned from fgets() contains two strange symbols at the end of the word, a music note and a circle, don't know why these are there, nothing like that is present in the textfile

here's a summary of the code I'm using:

Code:

          FILE * pFile;
          int aantalLijnen = 0;
          int randomLijn = 1;
          char opgave[25];

          pFile = fopen ("hangman.txt" , "rb");
          if (pFile==NULL)
          {
            //error handling
          }
                   
          while( fgets(opgave,sizeof(opgave),pFile) != NULL)
            aantalLijnen++;
          
          if(aantalLijnen == 0)
          {
            //error handling
          }
                              
          randomLijn = rand() % (aantalLijnen+1);
          
          rewind(pFile);
          
          fgets(opgave,sizeof(opgave),pFile);

          
          fclose(pFile);
          
          printTextScreen(10,80,opgave,RGB(255,255,255));
          flipScreen();

don't mind the printTextScreen() and flipScreen(), they are just functions of my graphics library

> contains two strange symbols at the end of the word, a music note and a circle,
Probably the \r\n at the end of the line, as returned by fgets()

> pFile = fopen ("hangman.txt" , "rb");
Use "r" mode only for text files, so that each line returned by fgets() has only a \n (that should get rid of one of the symbols you see).
How to remove the \n from the buffer returned by fgets() is in the FAQ

indeed, the \r and \n where read, with the new file read statement, the \r was the only thing that had to be removed from the string, which wasn't very hard

thnx for pointing this out to me

lol, i havethose exact same ones...

Are you programming for the PSP? Cause those are in the graphics library pysicology or w/e made....
