How to read the standard input into string variable until EOF in C?

Assuming that you want to get (shorter than MAXL-1 chars) strings and not to process your file char by char, I did as follows:

#include 
#include 
#define MAXL 256

main(){
  char s[MAXL];
  s[0]=0;
  scanf("%s",s);
  while(strlen(s)>0){
    printf("Size of %s : %d\n",s,strlen(s));
    s[0]=0;
    scanf("%s",s);
  };
}
