title: Eclipse debugging with input from console
body: <p>I'm trying to debug a program I wrote in C++ using Eclipse.
  The program includes getting input from the user but when I enter the input to the console it won't ever continue running the code (it'll keep asking for input). 
  I can't debug without fixing this and would appreciate some help.
  Thank you.</p>
  
  <p>The code gets stuck on the while loop fgets:</p>
  
  <pre><code>int main(int argc, const char**argv) {
      FILE* inputFile = NULL;
  
      setlocale(LC_ALL, "");
      if(argc == 2){
          inputFile = fopen(argv[1], "r");
          if (inputFile == NULL){
              printf("Problem opening file %s, make sure correct path name is given.\n", argv[1]);
              return 0;
          }
      }
      else {
          inputFile = stdin;
      }
  
      char buffer[MAX_STRING_INPUT_SIZE];
      // Reading commands
      while ( fgets(buffer, MAX_STRING_INPUT_SIZE, inputFile) != NULL ) {
          fflush(stdout);
          if ( parser(buffer) == error ){
              printf("ERROR\n");
              break;
          }
      };
      fclose(inputFile);
      return 0;
  }
  </code></pre>
