Thread: getting 1000 chars at a time from stdin

Hi all,

My program has needs to ask for standard input.. the user can enter a single number (that could be millions of digits long) and i need to get 1000 digits at a time.

Which function should i use? fgets()? but im not sure where i specify the 1000 digit buffer? Here is what i tried, could some one tell me what im doing wrong.

Thank you

Code:

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

int main (int argc , char** argv) {

	int buffer[1000];
	int current;
	
	while (current = fgetc(stdin) != '\n') {
		
		current = current - '0';
		
		printf("&#37;d", current); 
	}
	
	return 0;
}
