storing spaces in C

[manutdfan]

I am trying to allow the user to enter data through my program so it will give them an output, though I need it to be able to accept blank spaces.

I am trying to use the scanf function using S, a character string. is it possible to get this working or do I need to approach it another way.

Thanks for the help in advance

scanf uses whitespace as a delimiter, so trying to read strings with embedded whitespace requires an advanced knowledge of format modifiers. You shouldn't be using scanf for string input to begin with (or at all, in most cases). A combination of fgets and sscanf is much better. fgets to read a line, and sscanf to break it up into different types if necessary.

You want to avoid scanf as Prelude said. Plus whats with the name? Just joking
