Im trying to create a C based string menu where a user inputs a command and then a block of code runs.

Whatever i do the conditional is never true:

char *input= "";
fgets(input, 50, stdin);
printf("%s",input);
printf("%d",strcmp( input,"arrive\0"));
if(strcmp( input,"arrive\0")==0){....

Im fairly new to c and am finding strings really annoying.

What am i doing wrong?
