problem with scanf()

[doughy]

I need this program to pause where it says "Enter line: " The problem is every time I run the program it goes to Print Line iv over instead of pausing for the input at Enter line.

#include <stdio.h>

#define MAXLINE 1000

int get_line(char line[], int maxline);
int get_int();

main()
{
    int len, max;
    char line[MAXLINE];

    max = get_int();
    while ((len = get_line(line, MAXLINE)) > 0) {
        if (len > max)
            printf("%s", line);
        max = get_int();
    }
}

int
get_line(char s[], int lim)
{
    int c, i;

    printf("Enter line: ");
    for (i = 0; i < lim-1 && (c = getchar()) != EOF && c != '\n'; ++i)
        s[i] = c;
    if (c == '\n') {
        s[i] = c;
        ++i;
    }
    s[i] = '\0';
    return i;
}

int
get_int()
{
    int i;
    printf("Print line if over: ");
    scanf("%d", &i);
    return i;
}

I suspect the line scanf() in get_int() is creating the problem. When you type some char and press enter ('\n') ..when it goes to get_line() for loop c has the value '\n' and it breaks out of the loop.

for (i = 0; i < lim-1 && (c = getchar()) != EOF && c != '\n'; ++i)
s[i] = c;
if (c == '\n') {

So I changed it from '\n' to '$'

for (i = 0; i < lim-1 && (c = getchar()) != EOF && c != '$'; ++i)
s[i] = c;
if (c == '$') {
s[i] = c;

output-

Print line if over: 1
Enter line: hello$

hello$Print line if over: 2
Enter line: world$

world$

Probably you can take it from here
