Scanning whitespace

[jamonathin]

Anybody know how to scan whitespace?

I need to be able to scan something like

Quote:

Dear, world.

I hate you so very, very much.

Regards, Rosie O'Donnell

With the \n's and \t's in there. Thanks bunch.

what do you mean by "scan"? If you mean parse a string, then yes it's super easy. If you mean remove whitespace, then that too is easy.

Ah sry i ment with user input. How would i scanf/fgets something like that. Or if I were to have it in a file where i would do something like

Quote:

a.out < file.txt

so you want to read in input including whitespace? The easiest way is just to read in characters and add them to a string. There are other ways involving reading entire lines and stuff, but those are slightly more complex.

Ah, KISS.

Thanks md.

This is C, right?
