Line-Oriented Input

fgetl (fid, len) Built-in Function
Read characters from a file, stopping after a newline, or EOF, or len characters have been read. The characters read, excluding the possible trailing newline, are returned as a string.

If len is omitted, fgetl reads until the next newline character.

If there are no more characters to read, fgetl returns -1.

fgets (fid, len) Built-in Function
Read characters from a file, stopping after a newline, or EOF, or len characters have been read. The characters read, including the possible trailing newline, are returned as a string.

If len is omitted, fgets reads until the next newline character.

If there are no more characters to read, fgets returns -1.
