You can't /replace/ scanf() in the C library. It's a standard ANSI function, so it needs to be present and it needs to have its specified behaviour (which can include consuming either more or less than a line of input, depending on the format string). > Why has not anyone written such a function and included it into the GNU C > library? Probably because its trivial to write it yourself if that's what you really want. -- Glynn Clements <glynn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-c-programming" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
