Thread: Scanf->Fgets

I was looking through my code for ScratchPad today and was trying to find ways to improve it. I decided to change all of the calls of scanf to fgets. Can someone post some code to show how to change the result of

Code:

fgets(string,sizeof(string),stdin);

to exactly match the result of

Code:

scanf(" %s",string);

I want to be able to switch it to fgets without needing to change any more code. I was hoping to make a function that I could run on a string after I use fgets() so that it will look just like scanf was used. Also on the topic of getting rid of scanf, what is the best way to replace this?

Code:

scanf(" %d",&i);

Thanks in advance.

fgets just reads a block of input. It does no formatting. Try combining it with sscanf.


Quzah.

There's nothing wrong with scanf(), especially if you check the return value.
