I was wondering if someone could please help me with this:

printf("Enter path for mount drive (/mnt/Projects) \n");
scanf("%s", &cMountDrivePath);  

Is it possible to allow the user to simply press Enter and accept the default (in this case: /mnt/Projects)?
At present, if the user presses Enter, the cursor simply goes to the next line and input is still required.

I get the impression scanf does not allow this, in which case, what should I use?

Thanks!

    I think fgets() gives you a bit more possibilities in input, especially blank lines.
