linux 截取ln换行符,c - 从fgets（）输入中删除结尾的换行符

Below is a fast approach to remove a potential '\n' from a string saved by fgets().

It uses strlen(), with 2 tests.

char buffer[100];

if (fgets(buffer, sizeof buffer, stdin) != NULL) {

size_t len = strlen(buffer);

if (len > 0 && buffer[len-1] == '\n') {

buffer[--len] = '\0';

}

Now use buffer and len as needed.

This method has the side benefit of a len value for subsequent code. It can be easily faster than strchr(Name, '\n'). Ref YMMV, but both methods work.

buffer, from the original fgets() will not contain in "\n" under some circumstances:

A) The line was too long for buffer so only char preceding the '\n' is saved in buffer. The unread characters remain in the stream.

B) The last line in the file did not end with a '\n'.

If input has embedded null characters '\0' in it somewhere, the length reported by strlen() will not include the '\n' location.

Some other answers' issues:

strtok(buffer, "\n"); fails to remove the '\n' when buffer is "\n". From this answer - amended after this answer to warn of this limitation.

The following fails on rare occasions when the first char read by fgets() is '\0'. This happens when input begins with an embedded '\0'. Then buffer[len -1] becomes buffer[SIZE_MAX] accessing memory certainly outside the legitimate range of buffer. Something a hacker may try or found in foolishly reading UTF16 text files. This was the state of an answer when this answer was written. Later a non-OP edited it to include code like this answer's check for "".

size_t len = strlen(buffer);

if (buffer[len - 1] == '\n') { // FAILS when len == 0

buffer[len -1] = '\0';

}

sprintf(buffer,"%s",buffer); is undefined behavior: Ref. Further, it does not save any leading, separating or trailing whitespace. Now deleted.

[Edit due to good later answer] There are no problems with the 1 liner buffer[strcspn(buffer, "\n")] = 0; other than performance as compared to the strlen() approach. Performance in trimming is usually not an issue given code is doing I/O - a black hole of CPU time. Should following code need the string's length or is highly performance conscious, use this strlen() approach. Else the strcspn() is a fine alternative.
