如何读取和存储数据，其中包括用户在C中使用** scanf **输入的空格键

Question

im having trouble to input data which includes space bar Using C

Clion (C99)

Inputing name of recipient ,final destination and the status of the package

char name_location_status[90];
char recipient[30];
char final_destination[50];
char status[10];


printf("Please enter , 1> Recipient-, 2> Final Destination- and 3>Delivery status :\n");

scanf("%s", name_location_status);


const char upper[2] = "-";
char *token;
token = strtok(name_location_status, upper);
int i=0;
while( i!=3,token != NULL  )
{

    (i==0) ? strcpy(recipient, token) :
    (i==1) ? strcpy(final_destination, token) :
    strcpy(status, token) ;
    i++;
    token = strtok(NULL, upper);
}

The program works fine if inputing (Rat-House-Arrived) which output (Rat House Arrived) But it wont work if the inputs contain spacebar (L Rat-Kitchen House-Not arrived) which output (L )

So is there a way that using scanf To input data like this ?

Blockquote(L Rat-Kitchen House-Not arrived), which is in a line

If no , can u show me da way ?To input that kind of data In a line

Answer 1

instead of scanf use getline() function that seems more appropirate here

char *line = NULL;
getline(&line);
