Almost:
_fgetts( str, sizeof(str) / sizeof(*str), stdin );

The buffer size is in characters, not bytes.

thanks guys..

Please tell me how to add two TCHAR strings..
lets an Example,
TCHAR str1[]=_T("Hello");
TCHAR str2[]=_T("World");

now i want to add these these two strings in a Single one.
Suppose when I print str1[] only i get the Output as "Hello World"...
please help me Out..

Look for the TCHAR version of strcat. It's probably strcat with an extra t somewhere, and maybe an underscore at the front.

Be aware: you will have to make sure you have enough room in your result string for the entire result. As you have it now, neither str1 nor str2 will be long enough.

here to add two TCHAR strings Im using _tcscat()
but there is a problem when I take one string Input at run time..
here is the code

Code:

void main()
{ TCHAR A[50];
TCHAR B[20]=_T("World");
_fgetts( A, sizeof(A), stdin);   //Here I give input "Hello" in the String A.
_tcscat(A,B);
_putts(A);
getch();
}

here the output is: Hello
World

and want it as: Hello World

HELLPPPP..

Then strip off the newline before adding world to the end.

Actually i want to store the complete text in a Single string.
i think the command of new line is also get added with the string A.
please tell me how to remove it from the String.
