noob question just cant remember how

[Jalabert]

i need a program that can scanf a word and printf it again but it should only be possible to write letters in the scanf

if you write numbers or so it should printf a error or something

So write one! If you have questions about code you have already written, post back here (be sure to enclose your code in "code" tags!).

did you read the title ?

Your compiler come with helpfiles?
Did google puke on "use of scanf"?

Dont expect code to be given, your question looks to me like a very thinly veiled "I cant do my own homework so someone do it for me" type question. Post your code we will willingly help fix it up. Come begging and nobody will take any notice.

fair...

#include<stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
	
	char c[255];
	
	puts("skriv noget her ffs\n");
	gets(c);
	puts(c);
	return 0;
}

now i only need a way to remove everything but a-z and A-Z

For starters consult our FAQ for reasons not to use gets() and follow the advice there to fix that problem. For the elimination of all but alphabetical characters you can use the functions in ctype.h such as isalpha() and isspace() etc. look them up in your helpfiles and have a go for yourself. Post your efforts and we'll help further should it be needed.

I would also take a look at sscanf(). This is usually the recommended way by the C guys.
