According to the fflush manpage, only _output_ streams are flushed.
Why not the following:
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int test;
char garbage;
int result;
int j;
for(j = 0; j < 10; j++)
{
while ( scanf("%[^0-9-]", &garbage)); /* skip non-number chars */
result = scanf("%d", &test); /* now get the number */
if ( ! result)
printf("Error\n"); /* this better not happen,
* since we know we had a
* number when we tried to scan one
*/
else
printf("Success: %d\n", test);
}
}
works for me, ymmv
