Gets related problem

#include <stdio.h>

int main ()
{
   FILE * pFile;
   int n;
   char name [开发者_StackOverflow100];

   pFile = fopen ("myfile.txt", "w");
   for (n = 0; n < 3; n++)
   {
     puts ("please, enter a name: ");
     gets (name);
     fprintf (pFile, "Name %d [%-10.10s]\n", n, name);
   }
   fclose (pFile);

   return 0;
}

this code gives me a warning in gcc saying 'gets is a dangerous function to use'...is there a workaround for it?

Yes it is fgets. Replace your call to gets with:

fgets(name, 100, stdin)

For more details see the docs - the two are not exactly the same.
