JuMoGar's questions

I am trying to make a C console application collect (via keyboard) special Spanish characters like accents, 'ñ', etc in a scanfor in gets.

I have managed to display these characters correctly (stored in a variable or, directly, from the printf) thanks to the locale.h. I show an example:

#include <stdio.h>
// Añade paquete de idiomas
#include <locale.h>

int main(void)
{
    // Declaración de variables
    char cadena[254];

    // Establecer el idioma a español
    setlocale(LC_ALL, "spanish");

    // Mostrar correctamente los caracteres especiales del español
    printf("¡Éxito!. Se muestran los caracteres especiales del español.");

    printf("Introduce un string con caracteres especiales: ");
    gets(cadena);

    printf("El string con caracteres especiales que has introducido es: %s", cadena);

    return 0;   
}

but I still couldn't get them to be picked up correctly with the functions mentioned above.

Does anyone know how to do it?

Thank you

Doing tests I have observed that:

• setlocale(LC_ALL, "spanish");It shows the Spanish characters correctly, but it doesn't pick them up from the keyboard.
• setlocale(LC_ALL, "es_ES");It collects the Spanish characters correctly from the keyboard, but it does not display them correctly.
