    read string function

    Hello

    I want to create a function read() that gets a string from the user and returns a char *

    How can i do it?

    Code:
    char * read(){
    
    	char string[101];
    	
    	fgets(string, 100, stdin);
    	
    	return string;
    
    }
    This way i get an error that i am trying to return a local variable
