[ILUG] Stupid Question #? How to flush stdin?

[John Gay]

I realise this should be easy, but how do you flush stdin?

I'm trying to finish a programming asignment, and even though the lecturer 
taught us the use gets, I refuse because gets is dangerous, DUH.

The problem I've got is, I'm using fgets to fetch a string of 30 char's, but 
how do I flush stdin to keep the extra input from feeding directly into my 
next fgets?

The lecturer's answer was, use gets, if it's good enough for Microsoft, it 
must be O.K.

Cheers,
