C puts() without newline

Question

I currently have this program that prints a text file on the console, but every line has an extra new line below it. if the text was

hello world

it would output hello

world

the code is this

#include <iostream> #include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> using namespace std; int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[]) {     FILE* fp;     char input[80], ch = 'a';     char key[] = "exit\n";     int q;      fp = fopen("c:\\users\\kostas\\desktop\\original.txt", "r+");      while (!feof(fp)) {         fgets(input, 80, fp);         puts(input);     }     fclose(fp);      return 0; } 

Answer 1

Typically one would use fputs() instead of puts() to omit the newline. In your code, the

puts(input); 

would become:

fputs(input, stdout); 

Answer 2

puts() adds the newline character by the library specification. You can use printf instead, where you can control what gets printed with a format string:

printf("%s", input);
