Thread: help with simple code (i think!)

hello. can someone give me some advise please.
i want the user to select an option such as time, date, del etc
and then the program runs that instruction.
i can't think of a way to link the two.

for example:

below is some code for displaying the time.
how can i join the command from the user to the instruction to show the time.
thanks once again.
i might just complete this work!
got to be in tomorrow! (ouch!)

#include <dos.h>
#include <stdio.h>


int main(void)
{

char time;


printf("what do you want to know");
scanf("%s", time);

\\DO THIS INSTRUCTION
\\ELSE DO SOME OTHER INSTRUCTION


struct dostime_t t;
_dos_gettime(&t);
printf("The current time is: %2d:%02d:%02d.%02d\n", t.hour, t.minute,
t.second, t.hsecond);
return 0;
}

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.>
#include <time.h>

int main(void)
{
  time_t current;
  char sel = '0';

  printf("Please choose an option from the following list\n"
         "1. Current Time\n"
         "2. Something else\n"
         "3. Exit\n");
  sel = getchar();
  if(sel == '1')
    printf("%s", ctime(time(&current)));
  else if(sel == '2')
    //do something else
  else if(sel == '3')
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
  else
    printf("Invalid input!");

  return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

Correction:
somehow the post didn't come out right
¤t
should be
& current
without the space in between, this board won't let me post it correctly :P

weird.
