stdin waits for no gets or fgets
I am trying to use: gets( userInput ); or fgets( userInput, 21, stdin ); to get a string from the keyboard. Instead of stopping, it blows by the statement leaving a NULL string in its wake! The only thing I can think is that I used scanf earlier in the program. Any troubleshooting... -
