If K&R2' learning curve seems a bit steep to you (it expects you to have

some rudimentary programming knowledge) try one of the tutorials listed
below. Steve Summit's version is a bit more "gentle" than Tom Torf's.

Oh thanks Santosh yes this looks like a good tutorial from k&r2's pages.

Two possible solutions include:

char input[100];
fgets(input, sizeof input, stdin);

This looks good.

or

char *cap;
size_t buffer_size = 100;
cap = malloc(buffer_size);
if (!cap) { /* no memory */ }
fgets(cap, buffer_size, stdin);
/* proceed */

This is totally incomprehensible to me. I recognize all the statements
but I don't know what they are saying because of my limited C knowledge.

Bill,

Perhaps you could explain some of your personal challenges: Memory,
learning and stuff. Using C as therapy.
