C file read by line up to a custom delimiter -

is there function in c read file custom delimiter '\n'?

for example: have:

i did write \n exemplify in file lf (line feed, '\n', 0x0a)

this firstline\n second line\n 

i'd file read part , split in 2 strings:

this firstline\n second line\n 

i know fgets can read num of characters not pattern. in c++ know there method in c how it?

i'll show example:

i'm reading file abc.txt

abc\n def\n ghi\n 

with following code:

file* fp = fopen("abc.txt", "rt"); const int linesz = 300; char line[linesz]; char* res = fgets(line, linesz, fp); // res filled abc\ndef\nghi\n fclose(fp); 

i excpected fgets had stop on abc\n

but res filled with: abc\ndef\nghi\n

solved: problem using notepad++ in windowsxp (the 1 used don't know happens on other windows) saved file different encoding.

the newline on fgets needs crlf not cr when type enter in notepad++

i opened windows notepad , worked fgets reads string abc\n on second example.

fgets() read 1 line @ time, , include newline character in line output buffer. here's example of common usage.

#include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> int main() {     char buf[1024];     while ( fgets(buf,1024,stdin) )         printf("read line %lu characters long:\n  %s", strlen(buf), buf);     return 0; } 

but since asked using "custom" delimiter... getdelim() allows specify different end-of-line delimiter.
