fscanf

[Bill Cunningham]

I'm doing something wrong and all I know to do is turn to clc. I have a
text file containing 2 doubles separated by a tab.

..26 0

Is the text. I want to read the two double and printf them out. Here's my
file.

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
FILE *fp;
double x,y;
fp=fopen("zo"," r"); /*error checking out for brevity */
fscanf(fp,"%.2f \t%.2f",&string );
fclose(fp);
printf("%.2f%.2 f",x,y);
}

All I get is garbage that is contained in x and y. For whatever simple
reason that is beyond me evidently I can't read and printf out to stdin from
this text file. I don't think fread is really necessary.

Whoops, thanks for the correction.

Keith I hope this posts with no header problem above. I have k&r2. I use
thewww.cpprefer ence.comC section to look up return values mainly. I find
linux's man pages very vague IMO on my linux anyway, that is old.

I've never written that, stop lying, liar.

you, vippstar, did write:

Bill Cunningham correctly quoted what you wrote and correctly
attributed it to you; the number of prefixed ">" characters was even
correct. (He left in an extraneous attibution line with my name in
it, though he had snipped what I had written; I consider that a minor
error not worth complaining about, but I mention it here for
completeness.)

Before you call someone a liar, you need to be *very* sure that you're
right, that the other person's statement is false, and that the
falsehood was deliberate.

In my opinion, you owe Bill Cunningham an apology.

You're absolutely correct. The format of the message confused me. I
apologise to Bill Cunningham.
I got angry because IMHO Bill is a troll and I thought he reordered
the quotes (or something like that).

According to Google groups, those lines were indeed written by you, in
the following message: <http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.c/msg/

Has someone else been posting using your name?

I don't think so. That particular message was written and posted by
me.

Furthermore, I can't figure out why you'd object so strongly to having
those lines attributed to you. They show you finding a valid error,
which Keith acknowledged gratefully. It puts you in a pretty good
light, I would think. Therefore, even if they were actually written by
someone else, I would only expect you to be confused by the mis-
attribution, not angry about it. Am I missing something?

It was me who was missing something. Confusion lead to anger. See my
messsage to mr Thompson for complete explanation.

Handsomely done.

If you really think someone is a troll, the most important thing you can do
when reading their articles is *not get angry*.

That's (partly) what motivates trolls - they *want* to see you angry. If
Bill is a troll, perhaps he's the same, too.

If you can't deal calmly with the likes of Twink and Riley and McCormack
and (possibly) Cunningham - or if you simply think they're complete bozos
with the apparent mental capacity of a walnut and the reading
comprehension level of a two-year-old digestive biscuit - then I recommend
that you start using a killfile.
