Well, finally found an explanation and a solution: calling fgets()
twice. Because if there's no length limit supplied (and it's not EOF)
when calling the function, it continues reading until it finds the
first newline character. So calling fgets() again will ensure that it
will read from the

So you're confirming that fgets() doesn't necessarily read a whole
line? This user note existed on the manual's page of fgets() since
2004 and nobody deleted it or commented about:

Hello,
I have a function that picks up a random entry from a file consisting

it. The problem is that when using fgets() to get a random line, it
returns a part of

I just need to figure out why when using fgets() with fseek()
rand(), the script returns partial strings form the city names.
Because fseek doesn't necessarily put you at the start of a line.
It puts you anywhere (which could be the start, middle, 3 chars from the
end) according to the
