The file was probably edited/created on Windows. Windows uses \r\n as a line delimiter. When you read the file, you must strip the \r manually. Since most editors treat \r\n as a single character (line end), you can't "see" it but it's still in the file. Use a hex editor if you want to see it or a tool like od.

Open the file in text mode.

/* ... */
fopen(filename, "r"); /* notice no 'b' in mode */
/* ... */

Supposing you're on Windows ... on reading operations, the library is responsible for translating the literal "\r\n" present on disk to "\n"; and on writing operation, the library translates "\n" to "\r\n".
