I am trying to make a menu that allows the user to access various binary files and create, adjust, read and delete them. I have majority of the code done, but I am running into an issue where when the user inputs an invalid command the programs spins off into an infinite loop. I have tried various things to no avail, would someone please help.
int main()
{
int input;
while (1)
{
int titleSpace = 48;
char *title = "M A I N M E N U";
printf ("%*s\n", titleSpace / 2 + strlen(title) / 2, title);
printf ("\t1. Create the Binary File\n");
printf ("\t2. Display the contents of the file\n");
printf ("\t3. Seek a specific record\n");
printf ("\t4. Update the contents of a record\n");
printf ("\t5. Delete a record for the specific name\n");
printf ("\t6. Exit\n");
printf ("\n");
int choiceSpace = 48;
char *choice = "Please Enter your choice.... ";
printf ("%*s", choiceSpace / 2 + strlen(choice) / 2, choice);
scanf("%d", &input);
printf ("\n");
switch (input)
{
case 1:
writeRecord();
printf ("\n");
break;
case 2:
displayRecord();
printf ("\n");
break;
case 3:
searchRecord();
printf ("\n");
break;
case 4:
updateRecord();
printf ("\n");
break;
case 5:
deleteRecord();
printf ("\n");
break;
case 6:
printf ("********** E x i t i n g P r o g r a m **********\n");
exit(0);
break;
}
}
}
