Custom gets and puts functions

[Silverdream]

Hi,
I am writing custom gets() and puts() functions. I have started like this but got stuck as i didnt know to store the char.... I think the code will tell you where i am stuck

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

void xgets(char *str);

char str1[100];

int main()
{
	char str[100];

	printf("Enter a string");
	xgets(str);
	printf("%s",str);

	return 0;

}

void xgets(char *str)
{
	while(*str!='\n')
	{

well that was for gets

and this is for puts

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

void xputs(char *str);


int main()
{
	char str[100];

	printf("Enter a string");
	gets(str);
	xputs(str);


	return 0;

}


void xputs(char *str)
{
	while(*str!='\0')
	{
		printf("%c",*str);
		str++;
	}
}

this one works if a string is passed to puts. But if puts is like this then i dont know how to get it working.

puts("Print this");

Hope i am clear with my question.

Please help.

I'm not sure what the problem really is here. Is this the fix?

void xputs (const char * putMe)
{
 while (*putMe != '\0')
 {
  ...

Incidentally, puts prints a newline after printing the string.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <conio.h> // getche() ... you have to get input from the keyboard some how

#define ENTER     0x0D  // Enter Key
#define BACKSPACE 0x08  // Backspace key
#define TRUE        1
#define FALSE       0

void xputs(char *str)
{
	int idx = 0;

	printf("\n");

	while(str[idx] != NULL)
	{
		printf("%c",str[idx]); // take the * off
		idx++;
	}
}

void xgets(char * str)
{
	int idx = 0, i = 0;

	//Get the number of chars/subscripts
	while( str[idx] != NULL )
		idx++;

	// Force the chars/subscripts to be NULL
	for( i = 0; i < idx; i++ )
		str[i] = NULL;

	// re/assign stuff here
	idx = 0;

	while(TRUE)
	{
		str[idx] = getche(); // getche() returns the key pressed

		if(str[idx] == ENTER)
			break;

		idx++;
	}
}

int main()
{
	char str[100];

	printf("Enter a string : ");
	//gets(str); printf("%s",str);

	xgets(str);

	// 1st way of puts()
	xputs(str); 

	// 2nd way of puts()
	xputs("My puts function");

	return 0;

}

There are some problems with this code, for i didn't spend much time with it. I hope this gives you some ideas.
