Why bother - scanf is not easy to handle. If you want a complete
line, get a complete line. fgets is one was. gets is not (never
use it). Another possibility is my ggets, which is also written in
portable standard c, has the simplicity of gets together with the
complete safety (although you do have to remember to free the line
storage when you are done with it). See:
