Thread: Multiple words in if statement

Perhaps something like:

Code:

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

int main()
{
    char apple[100];
    char goat[100];
    scanf("%99s", goat);

    // Get rid of any characters remaining in the input buffer.
    while ( getchar() != '\n' );

    if(strcmp(goat, "something") == 0)
    {
        scanf("%99[^\n]", apple);
        // Or use fgets().
        // fgets(apple, 100, stdin);
    }

    printf("%s\n", apple);

    return 0;
}

You need to remove the trailing new line character before you use either fgets() or the scanf().

I mean that I can press space between two words

It works! Thank you!
