fgets阻塞 stdin 退出_如何清除后与fgets溢出输入缓冲区？

I'm facing a little problem with fgets when the input string exceeds its predefined limit.

Taking the example below:

for(index = 0; index < max; index++)

{printf(" Enter the %d string : ",index+1)

if(fgets(input,MAXLEN,stdin))

{

printf(" The string and size of the string is %s and %d \n",input,strlen(input) + 1);

removeNewLine(input);

if(strcmp(input,"end") != 0)

{ //Do something with input

}

}

Now when I exceed the length MAXLEN and enter a string, I know that the input will append a '\0' at MAXLEN -1 and that would be it. The problem happens when I try to enter the 2nd string which is not asked for i.e

Output :

Enter the first string : Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa //Exceeds limit

Enter the second string : Enter the third string : ....Waits input

So, I thought I should clear the buffer the standard way as in C. It waits until I enter

return

two times, The first time it being appended to the string and the next time,expecting more input with another return.

1. Is there any method by which I can clear the buffer without entering the extra return?

2. How do I implement error handling for the same? Because the fgets return value will be Non-null and strlen(input) gives me the accepted size of the string by fgets, what should be done?

Thanks a lot

If I understood correctly, looks like you want to avoid twice enter press, when entered input is within range.

A work around would be

for(index = 0; index < max; index++)

{

printf(" Enter the %d th string :",index);

// if (strlen(input) >=MAXLEN )

if(fgets(input,MAXLEN,stdin))

{

removeNewLine(input);

if(strcmp(input,"end") != 0)

// Do something with input

;

}

if (strlen(input) == MAXLEN-1 )

while((ch = getchar())!='\n' && ch != EOF );

}

With a limitation that it will again ask for two times enter when entered characters are exactly MAXLEN-2.

Or else you can simply form your input using character by character input.
