-: Warning: fflush() doesn't flush input streams, nor should it. -: Perhaps you want scanf("%*[^\n]\n") instead ? The recent exchange regarding fflush(stdin) got me wondering if there is an equally clever way (i.e., using the scanf format specifications) to skip the remainder of an input record if a # symbol is encountered (e.g., so that comments could be appended to the end of fixed (except for white space) format data records). TIA, jeff
