c - fscanf and newline character

I have fscanf to read lines of setting from a configuration file. Those settings have strictly predefined format which looks like

name1=option1;
name2=option2;
...

so basically I do

fscanf(configuration,"%[^=]=%[^;];",name,option);

where configuration is the file stream and name and option are programming buffers.

The problem is that the name buffer contains a newline character I don't want. Is there format specifier I've missed in the "[^...]" set to skip newline character? Anyway, can it be solved through format specifier ever?

BTW: Swallowing the newline character by writting this

"%[^=]=%[^;];
"

is not elegent I think for that the newline character could repeat more than once anywhere.

Just add space at the end of the format string:

"%[^=]=%[^;]; "

This will eat all whitespace characters, including new-lines.

Quotation from cplusplus.com:

Whitespace character: the function will read and ignore any whitespace characters encountered before the next non-whitespace character (whitespace characters include spaces, newline and tab characters -- see isspace). A single whitespace in the format string validates any quantity of whitespace characters extracted from the stream (including none).
