Gets problem I think

How can I make that the do-while keeps repeating while the user hasnt entered anything?? I mean, if when asked to enter your name you just press ENTER then the do-while repeats... I have this code but it doesnt work!!

Can you help me?

Code:

---

void pidenombre(void)
{
  do{
    printf("Your name?");
    gets(nombre);
  }while(nombre=="\0");
}

---

You should be trying to capture a new line not a null terminator. so use '\n' instead of '\0'.

>
}while(nombre=="\0");

Is wrong. You are trying to compare strings but instead are comparing their addresses. Try this instead:

Code:

---

}while(nombre[0]=='\0'); /*  Check the single quote '  */

---

OR

Code:

---

}while(!strlen(nombre));

>You should be trying to capture a new line not a null terminator. so use '\n' instead of '\0'.
gets() breaks when it encounters a '\n', which is not returned in the string, so, checking for '\n' is not going to help you

You all have overlooked the most obvious flaw: they're actually using gets! Never use gets. Use fgets instead. It's safer.

Quzah.
