I have a binary file called signatures, and I tried to open it in my program, based on user-input. I realized it doesn't actually open when I input the exact file name and I can't figure out why.
Here is the code I wrote to test the matter:
char buffer[1024];
fgets(buffer, 1024, stdin);
FILE* file = fopen(buffer, "rb");
if(file){
printf("worked");
fclose(file);
}
when I type in "signatures" the file still doesn't open. However, if I do the following:
FILE* file = fopen("signatures","rb");
it actually does open. What could be the problem?
I'm running this on ubuntu 18.04 on a virtualbox virtual machine with windows 10 as host.
