Accepting unspecified amounts of strings in c

Question

so I have a variable called book name and we know that a person can enter a book name like this "Big Bang Bum" or with two words like "Red Run" or "Wray". I have another variable after and if I decide to enter a book name with 3 parts it messes up the other inputs. So how do we allow it to accept any amount of parts?

bookname: jerry joe
author:
//it skips author because it accepted joe as the input
bookid: now asking for this

Answer 1

Use fgets() function to read an entire line of string input...
%s in scanf reads a word of string type only..

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
char name[20];
printf("Enter name :");
fgets(name,20,stdin);
printf("Name you entered is : %s",name);
return(0);
}

Answer 2

I am can probably accept the input as RedReadRow instead of Red Read Row but i'd prefer the second way if there is a solution
