[chbot] C prinf() %s

[Andre Renaud]

Hi Jimmy,
Not sure about the printf modifier, but could you just use
char *s = strchr(line, '\n');
if (s) *s = '\0';
printf("%s", line);

It'll truncate your output if you've got more than one line.
If you've just got a string you want to print, you can generally use
fputs(line, stdout);
instead (saves it needlessly parsing your '%s' modifier). Tragically you
can't use puts, as it always puts a \n back on again :)

Regards,
Andre
