Use gets() of fgets() to read in a whole line of text into a predefined temp
storage buffer. Eg if keyboard buffer is 128 characters (just an eg) then
assign char temp[128] and validate this by counting the number of characters
going into temp and once full send contents of temp to a file, reset temp to
zero and continue adding words left in the overflow. You will have ot
include a method of implementing the possiability of breaking a word in two
in this case search for the first blank space prior to the max storage
buffer becoming full and send that data to a file then continue the filling
of the temp buffer from the space onwards.
Memory can also be allocated dynamically (malloc) and using sizeof(temp) in
this case when storing the text to use memory more efficently.
