fgets & storing

hi all , i just have a problem concerning fgets

if i use fgets in a linked list structure

fgets (element->name,MAX,stdin);

where "name" is an element of struct~


how can i store the input from stdin , without , storing the newline character into the linked list??

You can't - fgets comes with a newline appended.

So you have to get rid of it after calling fgets

Here's an easy way

Code:

---

char *p = strchr( element->name, '\n' );
if ( p != NULL ) *p = '\0';
