Thanks Thomas. I searched

Thanks Thomas.
I searched more than an hour for this info.

Any idea why this program does not give me the opportunity to enter a string?

8.Amiga OS 4:S> guis:c/test
Please enter a string
str

8.Amiga OS 4:S>

int main(void) {
	char str[100]; 
 
	Printf("Please enter a string\n ");
	FGets(Input(), str, 80);
	Printf("str %s\n",str); 
	///printf( makeupper(str));
	return 0;
}

I don't have the possibility to try it out soon. But I guess it has something to do with buffered I/O which might not be supported by the CON window. Try this instead:

Read (Input(), str, 80);

Note that this only works for a window. If you read from a file it will not stop at \n.
