Hi,
Ive just build the following simple commandline C program in Eclipse, that
asks for your name and then prints it :
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
char me[20];
printf("What is your name?");
scanf("%s",&me);
printf("Darn glad to meet you, %s!\n",me);
return(0);
}
But when I run it with the 'Run' button in Eclipse, it doesn't seem to
work right in the console window. It doesn't print out the "What is your
name" text, and does not appear to wait for input by the user.
Maybe there is something I am obviously doing wrong here, but what is it ?
How do I make Eclipse run the program correctly ?
Thanks in advance,
John Smith

This is because of buffering in the C library. You will either need to
put a "\n" at the end of your printf, or you should fflush the output.

Yes, fflush worked. Changing the program to :
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
char me[20];
printf("What is your name?");
fflush(stdout);
scanf("%s",&me);
printf("Darn glad to meet you, %s!\n",me);
return(0);
}
made it behave the same as when run on the command line.
Sorry for my ignorance, but Im not only new to Eclipse; Im new to C as
well and havent gotten any farther than using printf and scanf yet.
Thanks for the help,
Regards,
John Smith
