Thread: Program skips fegts function - HELP

I'm writing a program that needs string input into a struct, but for some reason it is being skipped over.

Here's the bulk of the code.

Code:

struct ConfigInfo
{
   char VendorName[20];
   char Description[200];
   int NumKeys;
   int NumLicenses[10];
   int NumMemos[10];
   char Expiry[10];
};

.
.
.


   struct ConfigInfo *temp;
   temp=malloc(sizeof(struct ConfigInfo));

   printf("\nEnter the Vendor Name: ");
   fgets(temp->VendorName,20,stdin);

   printf("\nEnter the Reason for sending the key: ");

The ... obviously represented other functions and the function that the code is in. When I run the program, it just prints the two printf statements and gives me no time to input a string. What's wrong? Thanks for any help.

Probably a leftover newline in the buffer from a previous fgets that you're not showing. Read the FAQ entry for info on using getchar() to prevent this behavior.

Thanks a lot for your help. And sorry about misspelling the thread title, just noticed it :/
