What is wrong? I am trying to read a user input. The input is a street address ex: 401 North Ave.
I can't get it to scan???
The street variable is part of a structure that I am using in a linked list.
printf("enter street address: ");
fgets(temp,sizeof(temp),stdin);
sscanf(temp,"%s", pcurrent->street);
What is temp defined as?
What is pcurrent->street as?
Why use sscanf() (which won't do what you want anyway)?
Your probably getting '401', right? sscanf scans the first item in the string, in this case, the street number. The best way is just to parse the string manually.

... depending on what's what's wanted. A simple strcpy() might be all that is needed.
Are you kidding, man? Even if I needed the entire string I'd still parse it for good measure! :p
