how to readline?

[Lingyis]

Hi,
Is there a simple library function I can use to read a single line from stdin in 1) C and 2) C++? Thanks in advance.

1)

Code: Select all

char buffer[maximum_size_of_input_line_you_expect + 1];
gets(buffer);

2)

Code: Select all

string s;
getline(cin, s);

Using the magic of scanf:

Code: Select all

char line[MAX_LINE_LENGTH+1];
scanf("%.*[^\n]", MAX_LINE_LENGTH, line);
