[pakloong82]

while(1)
{
     char msg[128];
     scanf("%s", &msg); // or gets(&msg)
     printf("Bypassed");
}

hi there,

From the code above I wish enqire that it is possible to bypass scanf() or gets() function as mentioned on the code above and reach prinf() function instead with input or key in any value? thanks you and if can you guys show me the code? because i need to bypass scanf() or gets() is to capture some incoming information like listening to incoming messsage from another computer. thanks you in advance

Of course it's possible to bypass any line of code!

while(1)
{
     char msg[128];
     //scanf("%s", &msg); // or gets(&msg)
     printf("Bypassed");
}

Easy, huh?

Perhaps they're looking for

printf ( "You have 5 seconds to answer..." );
if ( someMagic() ) {
  printf( "Nice shooting tex" );
} else {
  printf( "Too late" );
}

Perhaps you need to use threading? Both boost (C++) and SDL (C or C++) provide portable threading libraries if you don't have one with your compiler. Threading is when two segmets of code are being executed at the same time. This is usually sugested if you need input from two sources simultaniously (sp?) (IE console and network).
