detect EOL in C using fgets

Question

I'm attempting to read a single line from a file using the following...

 while(fgets(c,BUF,f) != EOL){
   puts(c);
 }

Where EOL = #define EOL '\n' however, I get the warning... comparison between pointer and integer

What is the correct way to achieve what I'm trying?

Solution 1

fgets reads a string, and the result type is char*

I'd think you are thinking of fgetc instead?

Solution 2

Why don't you try fgetc instead? Then you can compare the ASCII code of '/n' like this

while (fgetc (file) != '\n'){
  puts(c);
}
