getting string from stdin or piport??

DieFab

when I use "getc()" a new screen appears waiting for the user to type a character (I think this is the stdin) and that way a can get a character in my variable. But what should I do to get a string from the same input?? I'm trying using fscanf( inPort "%s" toing) and  gets( toing inPort )  but I don't know what sould i put instead of "inPort". The manual says that it should work if I just put nothing, but if I do so, my variable "toing" it's only showing a couple of double quotes no matter what I type.

so what am I doing wrong??

Thanks

    If this were C, you would use a "gets", the sklangref.pdf, doc\sklangref, seems to have a "gets" listed as well, you get the user input including the newline termination....

    gets(inPort) is not useful in a UI based program like Allegro. It only functions if you have a TELSKILL (set telskill) window open. If you have a need to get a string from the user try axlEnterString(?prompt l_prompts). You should only use gets if you are reading from a file.

    lots of thanks people from beyond, I was trying now with lineread(), but I'll verify what you're telling me to see what works better. Thanks again. Have a fantastic one.
