[Dev-C++] how to do a shell like input..

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

hi Dev-C++,
[this is a followup thread to 'stdin reset..']

I want to programm a shell-like interface for my application, in which
I know some special commands with options and arguments.

the problem I have is, how do I create an input-buffer, that is able
to hold whatever is read from stdin, since i can not say what would be
the longest valid entry (say cat some large text...).

is there a way to dynamically read the length of the inputstring up to
the first '\n' and then malloc some string and THEN scanf() ???
