Thread: reading words line by line from a file

I am using fgets to read words line by line, however using fgets I always get the extra '\n' in each line.. how do I eliminate it?

say I have this list:

Apple
Bubble
Man
Zebra

then I use fgets, I get Apple\n, how do I get Apple only?

you do not check return value of fgets before using it
you do not check return value of malloc before using it
you do not free allocated memory
you casting malloc: FAQ: Casting malloc?
