Return the next line of a file as a string with line terminator(s)
line = fgets(fid) line = fgets(fid,nchar)
line = fgets(fid)
returns the next line for the file with identifier fid. If fgets encounters the end of a file, it returns -1. (See fopen for a complete description of fid.)
The returned string line includes the line terminator(s) associated with the text line (to obtain the string without the line terminator(s), use fgetl).
line = fgets(fid,nchar)
returns at most nchar characters of the next line. No additional characters are read after the line terminator(s) or an end-of-file.
fgetl Return the next line of a file as a string without line
terminator(s)
