Rob, Thanks for the quick reply. I did try that before, but now my issue is that the if-else section does not recognize the data as being valid. So, I changed it to fgets(), and reran, this time using valid data. The initial problem is corrected (it only gives the error once), but now it does not recognize my data, and I get the error once no matter what I input. Is there anything in particular I would need to do to the variable, after the STDIN, to prepare it for the validation?

You're retrieving one character at a time. When someone hits enter... 1 (or in winblows 2) extra characters are usually put on the input stack that represent the enter key itself.
