hi all,

Can somebody tell my why the string (buf2) gets really wired? it looks like
random charecters... :/

note... the test.txt only contains the string "name=tada;".... but printf()
only prints "name" correctly.



#include <stdio.h>

void get_string(FILE *f,char *c,int chk)
{
   int i;

   do{
      c[i] = getc(f);
      i++;
   }while(c[i-1] != chk);

   c[i-1] = '\0';
}

int main(void)
{
   int i;
   char buf1[80];
   char buf2[80];

   FILE *f = fopen("test.txt","r");

   get_string(f,buf1,'=');
   get_string(f,buf2,';');

   printf("%s%s",buf1,buf2);

   fclose(f);
   return 1;
}

what am I doing wrong?
TIA
