Thanks for the help J. I'm not to sure if I understand whta you said but I will try the strcmp() and see if it helps. As for the scanf, what I mean is that it actually passes right by it without even waiting for something to be entered at the keyboard. Weird huh? Does getchar stop program flow until something is entered at the keyboard? Cause if it does my program also ignores it too. Best wishes Henry
