removing the iiiiiiiiiiiiiii's

[JC++]

everytime i use fwrite() to write a string into a TXT file, when i open it, i always see a lot of iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis in the file. Is there any way to remove it?

i tot maybe its becos i wrote the entire structure into the file. but if i try writing a string into the file instead, it works and all the iiiiiiiiiiiiiis disappear. But after that when i want to use fread to retrieve each row of text, i cannot determine how large that row of text is and take out the required amount of data... can anyone help me pls?

yes dont use fread() and fwrite for text files. They are for binary input/output.
Instead use fprintf() and fscanf() or fgetc() or fputc() or fgets() and fputs() etc. You will probably need to write a delimiter char after the string to make life easy. Then just read up to the delimeter and discard the delimiter and your there.
