rename() problem

I'm having a tough time trying to figure out what the heck is wrong with my code.
If anyone would like to help, that'd be cool.

here's my code.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <conio.h>

void renamefile( void );

int main()
{
int input;

for( input = 0; input <= 2; input++)
{
printf(">>>> 1. Rename file\n");
printf(">>>> 2. Exit Program\n");
printf("\nEnter selection: ");
scanf("%d", &input);

if( input == 1 )
{
printf("Entering Rename file. . .\n");
renamefile();

if( input == 2 )
{
printf("Exit program...\n");
exit(0);
}
}
}
return input;
}


void renamefile( void )
{
char oldname[80], newname[80];

printf("Enter current filename: ", oldname);
gets(oldname);
printf("Enter new filename: ", newname);
gets(newname);

if( rename( oldname, newname ) == 0)
printf("File %s has been rename to %s.\n", oldname, newname);
else
fprintf(stderr, "Somethings screwed.\n");


}

When it compiles, it's all good and dandy then when I execute it it outputs this

>>>> 1. Rename file
>>>> 2. Exit program

Enter Selection: 1
Entering Rename file. . .

Enter current filename: Enter new filename:

As you can see, it's not exactly doing what i want it to...
Any suggestions?

Thanks
Russ.

after each gets() try
fflush(stdin);

You're mixing scanf with other input functions.

scanf makes such a mess of the input stream that you have to tidy it up before using some other input function.

This is what you need to add to your code

Code:

---

scanf("%d", &input);
while ( getchar() != '\n' ) { }  /* Add this line of code */

---

This while loop removes the trailing input characters from the numeric input.

You will also want to start using fgets in place of gets

No doubt some people will tell you to use
fflush( stdin );
but they are wrong, ignore them.
