I need to implement a get_line routine. It should get ONE line from an input
text file and return all characters as a pointer variable.

And here are my considerations and trials:

detect '\n' as the end-of-line character for the routine to return.

After testing with a driver, I found out that it did the job, but it returns
extra funny characters which are always the same character type. I suspect
that it is CR or FF. Can anyone confirm this? If that is the case, how
should I logically combine '\r' with '\n' as a testing condition in the
while loop?


One more question: does the current cursor position of a file persist
througout the file's open lifetime, regardless of where it's scope is??

Thanks a million, and please send replies/comments to:
