Input from Keyboard

[squirrelly1]

When I use this code:


printf("Do you want to enter another student? [y/n]");
scanf("%c",&v);
if(v=='y'){
goto EnterStudent;
}


It doesn't allow me to input data from the keyboard but instead it move right to the prompt... All of the files I have opened are closed, so I don't know where it is pulling the data from....

Is there any way to ensure that the data is inputted from the keyboard?

thnx,

Look into gets() and getc() for direct keyborad input - gets() waits for a return key press before returning data to the program, getc() returns each keystroke.

C++ has iostream which gives you .getline

It probably reads an old newline still in the pipeline. You could try adding this before reading:
fseek(stdin, 0, SEEK_END);
