Problems reading in from keyboard

[mykolg]

When running my program it is not reading anything in for the Student's name when I try to change the information in the database, I've tried several things to trying and alter the readin, but nothing seems to work.

I'm hoping that someone might be able to point me in the right direction.

Below is a snippet of the code I have been working on, and the porting that appears to be failing. Below that is the output that I and receiving. If you notice, it is not letting me input the name for the user.

 char temp[50];
                        int len;
                        found = 1;
                        printf("the value of sema_set=%d\n", sema_set);
                        Wait(sema_set,1);
                        printf("Name: %s\nStudentID: %s\nAddress: %s\n",
                                infoptr->name,infoptr->studentID,infoptr->$
                        printf("Telephone: %s\n\n", infoptr->telephone);
                        sleep(2);
                        Signal(sema_set,1);
//WORKING
//                      sema_set=semget(SEMA_KEY, 0,0);
                        Wait(sema_set,1);
                        printf("Enter the new name for the student.\n");
                        printf("Name: ");

//                      scanf("%s", temp);
//                      printf("%s", temp);

//                      fgets(temp, 100, stdin);
                        gets("%s", temp);

Line 20, which you have commented out is the right idea... but your tem buffer is only 50 characters so you need to change the call to match.
fgets() will also add the carriage return to the string so you need to get rid of it...

char * ptr;
char temp[50];


fgets(temp,49,stdin);
do
  {
     ptr = strchr(temp,'\n');
     if (ptr)
       *ptr = 0;
  }
while (ptr);
