    "help" is not a topic title.
    How To Ask Questions The Smart Way

    You wrote a producer/consumer, but can't use scanf() to read a string into an array?

    Post some code to show us what you've actually tried.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    This sounds like another : "I scavenged for some codez, youz makes it workz for me nowz!"
    1. Get rid of gets(). Never ever ever use it again. Replace it with fgets() and use that instead.
    2. Get rid of void main and replace it with int main(void) and return 0 at the end of the function.
    3. Get rid of conio.h and other antiquated DOS crap headers.
    4. Don't cast the return value of malloc, even if you always always always make sure that stdlib.h is included.
