The \n will be included in the string, and fgets() puts the null terminator and places everything in the buffer provided, making it a valid C string. If you don't want the \n, you will need to strip it out. If you want to see what is in the buffer after your call to fgets(), I suggest running your program in a debugger and putting a breakpoint on the line after the call to fgets() and examining what is in memory. -- Brett ------------------------------------------------------------ "In the rhythm of music a secret is hidden; If I were to divulge it, it would overturn the world." -- Jelaleddin Rumi
