fgets

Purpose

Return the next line of a file as a string with line terminator(s)

Syntax

Description

line = fgets(fid) returns the next line for the file with identifier fid. If fgets encounters the end of a file, it returns -1. (See fopen for a complete description of fid.)

The returned string line includes the line terminator(s) associated with the text line (to obtain the string without the line terminator(s), use fgetl).

line = fgets(fid,nchar) returns at most nchar characters of the next line. No additional characters are read after the line terminator(s) or an end-of-file.
