Thread: Why is my loop printing out 2 lines at one shot?

The majority of the program works. Only issue I'm having is when prompted to enter text into the file the loop start like this:

Enter line 1:Enter line 2:

--after I enter a text then the rest of the loop works as intended
Enter line 3:
Enter line 4:
Enter line 5:

And only 4 lines of text is printed out

What do I need to change to get Enter line 1:Enter line 2: show as 2 separate lines my loop looks right not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
int main()
{
     char string[100];
     char filename[20];
     int n=0;
     FILE *fp;
     printf(" Enter the name of file to open ");
     scanf("%s",filename);
     fp =fopen(filename,"w+");
     if(fp==NULL)
     {
          printf("unable to open File");
     }
     for(n=0;n<5;n++)
     {
         printf("Enter line %d :",n+1);
         gets(string);
         fputs(string,fp);
         fputs("\n",fp);
      }
     fclose(fp); /*close the file*/
     fp =fopen(filename,"r");
     if(fp==NULL)
     {
         printf("unable to open File");
     }
     for(n=0;n<5;n++)
     {
     fgets(string,100,fp);
     printf("%s",string);
     }
     fclose(fp); // close after reading.
return 0;
}

You are right I replaced the first scanf with fgets and it worked.
