Removing trailing newline character from fgets() input?

Question

I am trying to get some data from the user and send it to another function in gcc. The code is something like this. printf("Enter your Name: "); if (!(fgets(Name, sizeof Name, stdin) != NULL)) {  fprintf(stderr, "Error reading Name.\\n");  exit(1); }However, I find that it has a newline `\\n` character in the end. So if I enter `John` it ends up sending `John\\n`. How do I remove that `\\n` and send a proper string.

Answer 1

#include <stdio.h>

int main()

{

char inbuff[255];

printf(" Please your name :>");

gets(inbuff);

printf(" HELLO >%s< !!!\n",inbuff);

}
