Question

I'm having problems on storing the strings in the structure pointercorrectly. Every time it executes, it has some strange ' ' (newline) in the output, while it shouldn't be. Below is my funnyfile

#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
struct test
{
        int mansa;
        int man;
        char *j;
};
int main(void)
{
        FILE *fp;
        struct testgroup[5];
        char arr[60];
        int i = 0;
        int len;

        fp = fopen("fi.dat","r");
        if(fp == NULL)
            return 0;

        while(fscanf(fp, "%d",&(group[i].mansa)) != EOF)
        {
               fscanf(fp, "%d", &(group[i].man));

               fgets(arr, 59, fp);
               len = strlen(arr);

                       if(len > 30)
                       {
                                arr[30] = '';
                                len = 30;
                       }
                   group[i].j = (char *)malloc(sizeof(char) * len);
                       strcpy(group[i].j, arr);
               i++;
        }

        for(i=0;i<5;i++)
         printf("%d %d %s", group[i].mansa, group[i].man, group[i].j);


        fclose(fp);
        return 0;
}
