Is there a C function used to read characters from keyboard that does not return newlines ?
I have tried getchar() and scanf() .But both of it failed.
Please tell me if there is a function.

1can't you just check whether getchar return is equal to newline and filter it out? – cerkiewny Mar 24 '15 at 11:07

scanf() always skip the newline characters, how you checked show it – Bhuvanesh Mar 24 '15 at 11:34

1Should the newline be silently discarded or should it be left in the input stream? – mafso Mar 24 '15 at 11:48

scanf() receives until a spacebar is entered ie.only one string is accepted . This can be overcome by using
scanf("%[^\n]s",str);.
It waits until newline is entered. gets() is also an alternative to receive string until newline is entered.
