Thread: problem with fgets

Hi all, can anybody help me solve the problem below? If I enter a string with a string length of more than 10 for inputString, the next fgets will just take what is stored in the buffer. I searched the forum for problems with fgets, but only found out that if i use fgets, and if it exceeds the buff size, the next fgets will pick up what is left from the first fgets. How can I solve this? Thank you.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#define MAXSIZE 10

int main(void)
{
   char *inputString, *inputValue;
   
   inputString = malloc(MAXSIZE);
   inputValue = malloc(MAXSIZE);
   
   if(inputString==NULL)
   {
      fprintf(stderr, "Unable to allocate memory");
      exit(1);
   }
   
   if(inputValue==NULL)
   {
      fprintf(stderr, "Unable to allocate memory");
      exit(1);
   }

   printf("Please enter a string: ");
   fgets(inputString, MAXSIZE, stdin);
   
   printf("Input a value: ");
   fgets(inputValue, MAXSIZE, stdin);
   
   free(inputString);
   free(inputValue);
   
   return 0;
}

Ok, I got it, thanks guys!
