Thread: fgets skipping, buffer issue?

my code is here

Code:

void putbook(libr *lib, int cnt)
{
int i;
long unsigned int sal;
        printf("You will be adding information for %d books.\n", cnt);
        for (i=0; i<cnt; i++)
        {
                printf("\nFor book #%d Enter the access No: ", (i+1));
                scanf("%d[^\n]",&(*lib).accessNum);
                printf("Enter the author's name(lastname, firstname):");
                fgets((*lib).name, 100, stdin);
                printf("%s", (*lib).name);

                printf("Enter the books information:\nTitle:\n");
                fgets((*lib).book.title, 100, stdin);
                printf("%s", (*lib).book.title);

                printf("Price\n");
                scanf("%f", &(*lib).book.price);

                printf("Year\n");
                scanf("%d", &(*lib).book.year);

                printf("Enter the books status (Available, Not_Available, Reference_Only, Online): ");
                scanf("%d", &(*lib).Status);

                printf("\n");
        lib++;
        }

}

my first fgets is skipped, i think because i'm using scanf before gets and it leaves a \n behind in the keyboard buffer, i've tried all types of buffer clearing, any suggestions on how I can get my fgets to stop skipping??
thank you.

Have you tried:

while( getchar() != '\n' );

after scanf() ?

I actually fixed this problem by just putting getchar(); after every scanf that precedes a fgets.
Thank you!
