Thanks Paul for this information.
I was used to use fflush on stdin as fflush(stdin) on windows and this work
fine for me and this may be because windows support fflush on stdin and this
could be the reason why i was getting unexpected result when i was using my
own input stream.
So, Paul can you tell me how to flush input stream like:
#define BUFFER_SIZE_8 8
int main()
{
char inBuffer[BUFFER_SIZE_8], inBuffer1[BUFFER_SIZE_8];
fgets(inBuffer,BUFFER_SIZE_8,stdin);
fgets(inBuffer,BUFFER_SIZE_8,stdin);
printf("%s\n%s\n",inBuffer,inBuffer1);
return 0;
}
Now during my first input i enter following value :
"vishalthakurthakurvishal"
First fgets will read first 8 charecters and rest will remain in stdin
stream
2nd fgets will autometically read from stdin as some data is existing their.
How i can made 2nd fgets interactive means how can i flush stdin now.
Thanks & Regards
