Thread: easier way to flush input?

I've read the FAQ on flushing inputs. But are there easier ways to do it?

What is wrong with the FAQ methods? They are quite usable, and if they are not exactly what you are looking for, adapt something from the examples. Give it a go, and if you have trouble, post your code so people on he board can have a look.

Why use that archaic, ossified compiler? Look into getting gcc (with Cygwin) or download Dev-CPP

I don't see how you can get much simpler than a single function call or #define. What's simpler than one statement?

Quzah.
