reading strings with spaces using sscanf

Hi

I'm trying to find a way to use sscanf to read a string that can include an unknown number of spaces.

I'm using so far

Code:

---

char in[1024];
int r = 0;
while ( r == 0){
        printf("Insira o nome do restaurante a guardar:\n");
        fgets(in, 1024, stdin);
        r = sscanf(in, "%s\n", restaurante->nome);
}

---

Someone can please tell what should I change? I'm just getting the first word since it stops at white spaces.

Well, you could just use the in array. You can strip the newline like so:

Code:

---

char *p;
if((p = strchr(in, '\n'))) *p = 0;

---

Or you could use this.

Code:

---

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    char buffer[10];

    printf("Enter a string: ");
    scanf("&#37;9[^\n]", buffer);
    puts(buffer);

    return 0;
}

---

Personally, I'd just use the result of fgets() . . . .

Thank you very much I didn't know about strchr.
