    getchar() to work twice

    how do i get getchar() to work twice.

    example
    char *bleh= getchar();
    char *hmm= getchar();

    or is there a better function for getting a string, actually?

    Your example is wrong, because getchar, as the name implies, gets a char, not a string. Second, your pointers don't actually point at anything, so that would be an incorrect assignment.

    Consider reading the FAQ on getting a line or string from the user.

    Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
