c - strtok not discarding the newline character -

so have input file bunch of names , numbers. started using strtok break string can extract data out of each string. seems working correctly, reason it's not discarding newline character.

int procfile(person **data, file* fpfile) { //  local declaration char temp[1000]; char proc[15]; char *entry; char *loc; int success = 0;  //  statement if(fgets(temp, sizeof(temp), fpfile)) {     (*data) = alomem(); // free     entry = temp;     loc = strtok(entry, " ()-");     strcpy(proc, loc);     loc = strtok(null, " ()-");     strcat(proc, loc);     loc = strtok(null, " ()-");     strcat(proc, loc);     sscanf(proc, "%ld", &(*data)->phone);     loc = strtok(null, "\0");     strcpy((*data)->name, loc);     success++;     printf("%s1", (*data)->name); }  return success; }// procfile 

i tried printing results see if it's working correctly , output.

it's printing 1 after each name on newline, rather right after name. can explain me how can fix problem?

before tokenizing temp, rid of newline follows:

char *newline = strchr( temp, '\n' ); if ( newline )   *newline = 0; 

strchr searches temp newline character, , returns pointer (or null if newline character isn't found). overwrite newline 0 (string terminator).
