[SOLVED] Program output different on two machines

[MikeK]

I have a simple C program on two machines. One desktop, one laptop...both running Mint21 and the same version of gcc. But when I compile and run the program I get different output (a file) on each machine. The output files have the same number of bytes, but display differently. I wonder if one of the machine is missing a language pack or something like that? How can I figure this out and get them to behave identically?

Attached is a screenshot showing both files in Notepad++ (yes, from my Win10 machine, but that isn't the problem).

EDIT: I did more investigating. This is the first record from each machine.

Somebody on another forum showed me the problem. I was writing strings to a file without first clearing the strings with memset().
