    How to read a line and put in cahr variable

    Hi

    I want to take three inputs from user. First one is of integer, second one is a word and third one is a sentence. The problem is when i am taking third input it is taking only first word of the line.How i can take entire line as input. I am using following code

    Code:
    while(another=='Y')
    {
    printf("\n Enter schedule id,schedule name and schedule description\n");
    scanf("%d %s %31s",&schinf.sch_id,schinf.sch_name,schinf.sch_dsc);
    fwrite(&schinf,sizeof(schinf),1,fp);
    printf("\nWould you like to enter another record?\n");
    while((another=getchar())!='\n');
    another=getchar();
    
    }
     Thnaks in advance

    replace %31s with %31[^\n]
    All problems in computer science can be solved by another level of indirection,
    except for the problem of too many layers of indirection.
