read a line with getchar

82
I want to read a line and put each word of this line in a linked list but i must use getchar.My problem is on how to read a line with getchar.(forget linked lists)
i make this
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. #include <stdio.h>
  2.  
  3. #define len 64
  4.  
  5. int main(void){
  6.  
  7.     char str[len];
  8.     int i;
  9.  
  10.       do{
  11.          i=0;
  12.          str[i]=getchar();
  13.          i++;
  14.          }while (str[i-1]!= '\n' && i<len);
  15.  
  16.      str[i-1]='\0';
  17.  
  18.      printf("%s", str); 
  19.  
  20.      return 0;
  21.           }
The problem the printf str doesn't print anything

You set i=0 every time the loop executes. i never exceeds one. Then you set str[0] to '\0'. Set i=0 outside the loop.

Ok. Now i want to seperate the words.
example if i give:
hello world

I want to take hello and add it into the list and then for world do the same thing
I thought something like this: in a for loop if i find any ' ' character i will replace it with \0. Will this work? or any other idea to do this?
