    You need an array that grows. Start out with a small array that is dynamically allocated and read input character by character. When the array's size is met than reallocate another block of memory.

    malloc
    realloc

    Go here: http://www.research.att.com/~bs/papers.html

    And look at the article 'Learning Standard C++ As A New Language'. It will be worth reading.
