Feof replacement

**00Sven** · 04-01-2006

I have been trying to find a good way to replace feof(); but havn't quite found one. I have been trying to read a file line by line until i hit the end of the file and then print if out onto the screen. This is what I have:

Code:

while(fgets(temp,sizeof(temp),fp)!=NULL){
                                                     fgets(string,sizeof(string),fp);
                                                     puts(string);
}

The problem with this is that it gets the last string twice. How do I fix this?

You're doing fgets(..) twice.

Only call fgets once?

Code:

while(fgets(temp,sizeof(temp),fp)!=NULL){
  puts(temp);
}

The first fgets is into temp while the other is into string. So only one fgets is for string. And only the last line is printed twice.

Clarify please. Are you saying your file has exactly an even number of lines? The first line of each pair (line 1, 3, 5...) gets read into temp and the second line of each pair (line 2, 4, 6...) gets read into string?

What line number is the last line of the file? To work as described it must be even.

OK sorry I get it now and it works. Thanks Prelude!
