format speciiers for sscanf - reading a comma seperated string

I have the following line in my code, which is supposed to skip commas
and white space and to read a comma seperated value string into the
appropriate variables:

sscanf(temp.c_s tr(),
"%f%*,%d%*,%f%* ,%d%*,%d%*,%f%* ,%f%*,%f%*,%f%* ,%d%*,%f%*,%d%* ,%d", &dt,
&ti, &lsp, &lst, &lsv, &o, &h, &l, &bd, &bv, &ak, &av, &cv) ;
I suspect the format specifiers are incorrect, since I am not reading
the values correctly from the string - could anyone please suggest the
correct format specifiers to :

1). Igone commas
2). skip any white space between the values/commas

This is rather a C question. I think you'll have more luck asking C
questions in 'comp.lang.c'.

Hi, I've got a field that contains a list of rooms. In most cases, this contains a single ID. However, under some circumstances, the field may contain a list of two IDs which are broken by a comma. For example: BENL LT, RAT LT At the moment, I've got the VBA bits working on the single ID stuff, but, should it come across a list like the above,

I have the following code: sscanf(line, "%d", n_ptr) !=1 || n_ptr <=0; It only partially works. If the user types a character other than 0-9 to start the string it fails. However as long as the first character is an integer it will allow letters in the following places for Example:

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
