Thread: Text file editor code

Hey there, im a newbie and first time poster .... so please be nice!!

Im working on an assignment to create a basic text file editor which was all going dandy until i've realised the functions I've been using to get a line number off user produce wrong results

Code:

 
printf("\nLine No: ");
scanf("%d", &linenum);
printf("You entered line no. %d", linenum);

and

Code:

printf("\nLine: ");
fscanf(stdin, "%d", &linenum);
printf("Line No chosen is %d", linenum);

these both added '69' on to whatever is entered when printing linenum again

any helpful suggestions would be most appreciated!!

Thanks

There really is nothing wrong with what you posted, so please post some more code than that.
