This code is supposed to be able to deal with spaces in the text file, which it does, BUT the code causes skipping lines, which is not what I want. (So there seems to be a \n to be got rid of.) The code is also supposed to break at EOF which it doesn't, but which it should.Code:fscanf(fle5,"%[^\n]%*c", dummy);
Please advise. Thank you.

Well it rather depends what other file reading functions have already happened.
Normally, I would suggest just using fgets() to read each line, then use sscanf (or any other string processing functions) to parse the data in memory.
Mixing input styles almost always results in confusion.

You never asked it to.
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
Yes!! Thank you. Zach K.Originally Posted by Salem
