Jump to PostThis is what my help files say about fgets return value...
char *fgets(char *s, int size, FILE *stream);
gets() and fgets() return s on success, and NULL on error or when end
of file occurs while no characters have been read.

Its an infinite loop because fgets() never returns EOF. fgets() returns NULL when it reaches end-of-file
