hi,
1) first test program code
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
char * file = "aaa 23 32 m 2.23 ammasd";
int i2,i3;
float f;
char firststr[23];
char thirdchar;
char laststr[23];
sscanf(file,"%s ",firststr) ;
printf("%s\n" ,firststr);
sscanf(file,"%i ",&i2);
printf("%i\n",i 2);
sscanf(file,"%i ",&i3);
printf("%i\n",i 3);
sscanf(file,"%c ", &thirdchar);
printf("%c\n",t hirdchar);
return 0;
}
the prog doesn't print 23 32 ,it emits the result
aaa
-1073748344
1073792608
a
why?
while
2) second test program code
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
char * file = "aaa 23 32 m 2.23 ammasd";
int i2,i3;
float f;
char firststr[23];
char thirdchar;
char laststr[23];
int count;
count;
/*sscanf(file,"% s",firststr) ;
printf("%s\n" ,firststr);
sscanf(file,"%i ",&i2);
printf("%i\n",i 2);
sscanf(file,"%i ",&i3);
printf("%i\n",i 3);
sscanf(file,"%c ", &thirdchar);
printf("%c\n",t hirdchar);*/
count =
sscanf(file,"%s %i%i%c%f%s",fir ststr,&i2,&i3,& thirdchar,&f,la ststr);
printf("count:% d, %s %i %i %c %f %s\n", count, firststr, i2,i3,
thirdchar,f,las tstr);
return 0;
}
gives me the result
count:4, aaa 23 32 36.759842 å…°
how can i get the right result? thanks
baumann@pan 10 5469
also the msdn library vs.net 2003 has the example
#include <stdio.h>
void main( void )
{
char tokenstring[] = "15 12 14...";
char s[81];
char c;
int i;
float fp;
/* Input various data from tokenstring: */
sscanf( tokenstring, "%s", s );
sscanf( tokenstring, "%c", &c );
sscanf( tokenstring, "%d", &i );
sscanf( tokenstring, "%f", &fp );
/* Output the data read */
printf( "String = %s\n", s );
printf( "Character = %c\n", c );
printf( "Integer: = %d\n", i );
printf( "Real: = %f\n", fp );
}
Output
String = 15
Character = 1
Integer: = 15
Real: = 15.000000
i don't know what's the difference between the first example i give
above.
3) test program 3
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
char * file = "aaa 23 32 m 2.23 ammasd";
int i2,i3;
float f;
char firststr[23];
char thirdchar;
char laststr[23];
int count;
count;
/*sscanf(file,"% s",firststr) ;
printf("%s\n" ,firststr);
sscanf(file,"%i ",&i2);
printf("%i\n",i 2);
sscanf(file,"%i ",&i3);
printf("%i\n",i 3);
sscanf(file,"%c ", &thirdchar);
printf("%c\n",t hirdchar);*/
count = sscanf(file,"%s %i %i %c %f
%s",firststr,&i 2,&i3,&thirdcha r,&f,laststr);
printf("count:% d, %s %i %i %c %f %s\n", count, firststr, i2,i3,
thirdchar,f,las tstr);
return 0;
}
this give me the right result,
count:6, aaa 23 32 m 2.230000 ammasd
but the only difference between the 2nd example is the space between
the format string,
why ???

here you give sscanf the same argument as before, it is the string
pointed to be file. Now sscanf will find 'a' to be the first character.
This is not a character that can be consumed by %i conversion. So sscanf
stops the conversion an returns.
If you check the return value of sscanf at this point you will see that
it is 0.
So the variables i2 an i3 remain uninitialized and may hold any value.
sscanf in contrast to fscanf and scanf does not consume the characters
of the string. The input string remains the same as befor it is passed
to sscanf.
printf("%i\n",i 2);
sscanf(file,"%i ",&i3); printf("%i\n",i 3);
sscanf(file,"%c ", &thirdchar); printf("%c\n",t hirdchar); return 0; } the prog doesn't print 23 32 ,it emits the result

You really need to read the documentation of the sscanf function
carefully. This function is one of the hardest to understand and use in
the standard C library.
Note that %c only reads exactly one character not a string and also note
how a %s conversion stops at white space (which actually are characters
to). Depending on what you actually want to read from the input string
I could give you some more advice, but I don't recognize this from your
exaple programs for now.

thanks, i take it for grant, indeed it's not true,ie, characters are

indeed, when I delimit the each format string with space, the 2nd
program works well, why?
ie.
change
sscanf(file,"%s %i%i%c%f%s",fir ststr,&i2,&i3,& thirdchar,&f,la ststr);
to
sscanf(file,"%s %i %i %c %f
%s",firststr,&i 2,&i3,&thirdcha r,&f,laststr);
it prints what i want. thanks

Each sscanf() has as its first argument 'file' which has a constant address.
