I think I misinterpretted this when replying to your post. You are right in that if it's EOF, I am trying to process it and it's not working so well because it's reading in a char and EOF is an int. I tried an fgetc() and that worked just fine. Sorry for the confusion. I didn't exactly understand what you were saying here the first time. Thanks a bunch for the help! I really appreciate it!
