newline with fprintf()

**carderne** · 09-28-2010

I'm using fprintf to print strings to a file, but I can't get it to make a new line.

Here's my code:

Code:

char buffer[80];
FILE *f;
f = fopen ("tester.txt", "wb");
fprintf(f, "HELLO\nWORLD\nIt's Good\nTo See\nYou");
fclose (f);

The output I'm hoping for is:

HELLO
WORLD
It's Good
To See
You

But instead I'm getting:

HELLOWORLDIt's GoodTo SeeYou

thanks for your help

Try changing
f = fopen ("tester.txt", "wb");
to
f = fopen ("tester.txt", "w");
and see if it changes anything.

Change "wb" to "w" since you do not intend binary mode.

haha, thanks that sorted it. I can't remember why I used the 'b' in the first place...

cheers
