Hi, guys.....I have a question about keyboard input in C

I m writing a program...
which allows user to type command in the the prompt....then my program will do specified thing and so on

command are in the form: com parameter1 parameter2(or more)

for ex.
> move queue queue2

or
> add 12345 aibo queue2

the problem is, I don't know how to get those input...
because scanf can't get the whole string, it's space delimited....
also, since each of my command can have different # of parameters, this makes it more difficult, otherwise, I would have delcare a char* variable for each....

my question is is there any way to get the whole command in one string? then parse it?

or there's a better way to do it??

tks guys....

Yes indeedy, there is. The function getline() will accept an entire line of input, stopping only at a carriage return. E.g.

Now how do you parse it? You can scan along the string looking for whitespace. Or you can use some string functions, substr() and find(), to grab the arguments out of the string. Or you can use stringstreams.

I'll leave that to you
