fgets and a bothersome newline char

Hi!

I am using fgets instead of gets for input to prevent possible buffer overrun.

When a string is read, a newline character is included at the end of the string. Do you have to manually remove this newline char after every read, or write your ownn function to do this everytime or ..... is there a better way to deal with this extra newline that anyone has used before?

Thanks

use strchr, as shown here

You can always write a 'my_gets()' which has all the safety of fgets, and deletes the newline if it's present.
