[Dev-C++] stdin reset...

[<ca...@kr...>]

hi dev-cpp-users,

I try the following code:

<snip>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
    char buffer[5];
    while(1)
    {
        printf("prompt > ");
        scanf("%4[^\n]",buffer);
    
        printf("you typed: %s\n", buffer);
        printf("you typed: %d %d %d %d %d\n", buffer[0], buffer[1], buffer[2], buffer[3], buffer[4]);
    }

    return 0;
}
</snap>

but it obviously doesn't work.
I want to emulate a console behaviour.
so that whenever you press <ENTER>
-the just typed letters (only 4 of them) get placed in buffer (with a
terminating 0)
-buffer gets printed
-buffer gets cleared
-stdin gets cleared
-new prompt waiting for input ()

how can i do that?

I propose that the following character sequence for joke markers:
