How to fix an error of reading a text file

Question

I have tried to reading a text file but the array stores only the last line of the text file.

    char cleanedText[10000]={'\0'};
    while(!feof(fileptr))
      {
        fgets(cleanedText, 10000 , fileptr);
      }

But,the cleanedText stores only the last sentence which is written in the text line.

For example these two is written in the text,

asdasdasd

thisisus

When i print the cleanedText.

The screen just shows thisisus.

What is the problem?

You will want to look at [**Why is while ( !feof (file) ) always wrong?**](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5431941/why-is-while-feoffile-always-wrong) That is mitigated somewhat by your use of `fgets` in the loop, but I suspect you have more than just `fgets` there... — David C.

Each call to fgets writes into the same place, overwriting what was there previously.

(or each call to `fgets` replace what is in `cleanedText`) -- which is what I think you are saying. – David C. Rankin Aug 10 '19 at 00:13
I got it. But, what can be the strategy to store all lines. I mean all text. – ambtscdr Aug 10 '19 at 00:19
Figure out where to put each new line. How you do that depends on how you want them stored. – Scott Hunter Aug 10 '19 at 01:07
