I have found a somewhat help to my problem.

 

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
 
int main()
{
   char text[20];
   fputs("enter some text: ", stdout);
   fflush(stdout);
   if ( fgets(text, sizeof text, stdin) != NULL )
   {
      char *newline = strchr(text, '\n'); /* search for newline character */
      if ( newline != NULL )
      {
         *newline = '\0'; /* overwrite trailing newline */
      }
      printf("text = \"%s\"\n", text);
   }
   return 0;
}

It could use some touch ups but I found it here http://www.daniweb.com/tutorials/tutorial45806.html a few more hours of google never hurt anyone in the end :)
