C: how to get user input without ENTER (\n) being recorded? -
i trying read user input string record user input keys without '\n'.
so, delimiting command , argument user inputs e.g. "mkdir hello" ("mkdir" = command, "hello" = argument) returns argument ("hello\n").
is there way remove '\n' effectively?
also, how null terminate strings?
int main(void) { char directoryname[129] = ""; printf("\nprogram start... \n\n"); // getting user input string // , splitting command , argument char inputstring[129]; char delimiter[] = " "; char *line; char *arg; struct tree_node *root = make_tree_node("root\0"); //struct tree_node *cwd = make_tree_node("root\0"); struct tree_node *cwd = root; printf("/%s >", directoryname); while (fgets(inputstring, 128, stdin)) { // char * before strsep, set pointer original checkstring // original checkstring // free memory // gets argument , stores arg line = malloc(sizeof(char) * strlen(inputstring)); strcpy(line, inputstring); arg = strsep(&line, delimiter); arg = strsep(&line, delimiter); printf("your argument: %s\n", arg); printf("/%s >", directoryname); } entire code:

you can use:
while (fgets(inputstring, 128, stdin)) { inputstring[strlen(inputstring)-1] = '\0'; ... i try program change, output example:
program start... / >mkdir hello argument: hello / >making directory name hello directory added: hello/ >
