Thread: Problem in Getting Menu Option

I'm currently doing an assignment but I've desperately to make this work:

Code:

int addString(void){

   char addAnother, str[100];

   do{
      printf("Enter string: ");
      gets(str);

      /* Some not important code here */

      printf("Add another? [Press Y for Yes]");
      addAnother = getchar();     /* Problem exist here */
   }while( (toupper(addAnother)) == Y );

   return 0;

}

Now, as I was asked to add another, I press 'y' then Enter and it will skip the gets() statement on top, like this:
Output:
------------------------------------
Add another? [Press Y for Yes]y
Enter string: Add another? [Press Y for Yes]
------------------------------------

I've tried to use getch() instead but end up the output like this:
------------------------------------
Add another? [Press Y for Yes]
Enter string: y
------------------------------------
which the y always appear after my 'Enter string' prompt (which I didn't want).

Is there any way that I can achieve this "menu selection" hassle?

Thanks for the help! The program works fine .

(P/S: Now I know why scanf and gets can't live together in my assignments )
