I need to clear the input buffert (stdin) so that when I call fgets I only get the most resent input in it. So far I've figured that I should do it after I get the input from it but I don't know how to do it in the firsty place since I shouldn't use fflush (stdin). And don't want to use the one on the faq pages since it requiers somthing to be inputed if there ins't anything in it.

They say that if you play a Windows Install CD backwords, you hear satanic messages. That's nothing; play it forward and it installs Windows.
flush input
Code:#include <stdio.h> void eatToNL(FILE * inputStream) { int c; /* Eat till (& including) the next newline */ while ((c = getc(inputStream)) != EOF) if (c == '\n') break; } /* blah blah */ eatToNL(stdin); /* blah blah */
That will only work if there is data in the buffer. If there isn't, you hang until someone hits a key.
What compiler are you using?And don't want to use the one on the faq pages since it requiers somthing to be inputed if there ins't anything in it.

I am using fgets but the thing is if the user prints like 100 Ps then my buffert wont catch all of it and then I should trow the left overs away since I know I won't need the left overs witch it doesn't take.
