I am trying to read strings from a file that has each string on a new line but I think it reads a newline character once instead of a string and I don't know why. If I'm going about reading strings the wrong way please correct me.

    i=0;
F1 = fopen("alg.txt", "r"); 
F2 = fopen("tul.txt", "w"); 
     if(!feof(F1)) {
     do{ //start scanning file
     fgets(inimene[i].Enimi, 20, F1);
     fgets(inimene[i].Pnimi, 20, F1);
     fgets(inimene[i].Kood, 12, F1);
     printf("i=%d\nEnimi=%s\nPnimi=%s\nKaad=%s",i,inimene[i].Enimi,inimene[i].Pnimi,inimene[i].Kood);
     i++;}
     while(!feof(F1));};
/*finish getting structs*/

The printf is there to let me see what was read into what and here is the result

i=0
Enimi=peter

Pnimi=pupkin

Kood=223456iatb i=1
Enimi=

Pnimi=masha

Kaad=gubkina
i=2
Enimi=234567iasb

Pnimi=sasha

Kood=dudkina

As you can see after the first struct is read there is a blank(a newline?) onct and then everything is shifted. I suppose I could read a dummy string to absorb that extra blank and then nothing would be shifted, but that doesn't help me understand the problem and avoid in the future.
