    fputs with carriage return?

    I am using the fputs function to create a list, but all of the items in the list are on the same line. Any idea how to get the fputs function to put in a carriage return?

    Add a newline to the end of whatever string you are printing. Or just use puts, or fprintf or some other random function.

    So strcat on a newline, or use fprintf instead.

    There's also fputc, as in fputc('\n', fp).

    Or... you can call fputs("\n",file); wherever you need a newline in your file.
