I believe what he's saying is he's reading a file containing textual data, e.g. "10\n", and ending up with "103x8dehetkladg..." because he's not NULL terminating it. So, to the original poster, while you can get what you want by using calloc instead of malloc (calloc simply zeroes the memory it gives you, which you can do manually with memset as well), what you really want to do is fix the bug whereby you're not NULL terminating what you read. The easiest way to do that, going off the code above, would be just to add, after your getBytes:range: call:

buffer[delimiterLocation] = 0

and obviously don't forget to change the malloc line to allocate an extra character.
