RE: chop LF

>From the tone of the post I suspect a shell command would be more useful

cat foo | tr -d "0A" | a.out
	this will strip out that character from your input stream every time, or

cat foo | tr -d "0A" > foo2
	this will create foo2 without the 0A character (don't use foo as input and output at the same time)

or the best way is to modify your source to deal correctly with the 0a problem - perhaps its a bonus mark in disguise :)

i'm not sure, if i understand you right ... you are having trouble to
detect the end of file, when there is an empty line at it's end, right?

i didn't test it, but this should be the default way of doing it:

FILE *fd;
char buf[1000];

while(!feof(fd)) {
  fgets(buf,sizeof(buf),fd);
}
