print line by line from a file

Hi all,

I am new to C programming. I got a question here..

let say i wanna read from a file sample.txt :
hello boy
how old are you?

and print out line by line.

if i use
fscanf(file, "%s\n", line);
printf("%s\n", line);

the answer will be:
hello
boy
how
old
are
you?

How can i print it line by line like following:
hello boy
how old are you?


Thank you so much...

fscanf uses whitespace as a record separator. If you want to read a string with internal whitespace, you need to jump through some tricky hoops using format modifiers. It's much easier to use fgets, which uses a newline as the record separator:

Code:

---

char buffer[BUFSIZ];

while (fgets(buffer, sizeof buffer, in) != NULL)
  fputs(buffer, stdout);

---

I think you want to try fgets.

Edit: beaten

Thanks Prelude and pianorain...
