I'm using C in my program (a big part of my issue already) and a part of it requires a user to enter a name to be read from a text file. I started by using fgets but that created issues in itself. I reverted to using scanf which saw an improvement but here's what happens:

There is a loop that asks the user if she wishes to read, write or delete. If I select read, it then asks how many names I want to read. Then it goes through a loop of asking for a name, calling a procedure and returning a result and will loop for the number of names I chose to read.
Now that exits, and it asks the user if she wants to continue, if yes, it loops back and asks for an option ("no" exits obviously). Now this time if I select read, it prompts for the number of names to read, i enter a number but then it skips asking for any names and goes straight to where it asks if I want to continue.
