Fwd: sscanf() & fscanf()

Hello, All!

Is there any analogous class/function to sscanf() & fscanf() in C#?
In another words, I need to convert string into the set of given
variables of different types.

Regards,
Vladimir.

Yes, look at the System.Convert class.

I don't understand why use System.Convert when you can do typecast directly:

float f = 123.456;
int i = (int) f;

Isn't that more simple?
Then why should I use System.Convert. ToString(...) when every base type has its own one? Also every numeric base type has Parse method.
And last, sscanf() converts string to a series of variables while System.Convert. To<...>(string) return only one value.

Regards,
Vladimir.

The return value of sscanf should be "the number of input items assigned" (unless an input failure occurs before any conversion). Are items assigned due to a "%n" directive included in the returned count? Thanks. -Kevin -- My email address is valid, but changes periodically.

Given the code:- r = sscanf (s, "%lf", x); What is the correct output if the string s is simply "-" ? If "-" is considered the beginning of a number, that has been cut-short then the correct output is that r = EOF. If it is taken to be a letter in the stream, then the output should be r = 0, as far as I can see. My compiler gives EOF.

Dear folks, I need some help with using the sscanf() function. I need to parse a string which has several parameters given in a "A=... B=... C=..." way, and each has a different type (one is a text string, another is a decimal, next one is float, etc.). I have GCC 4.0.1 on Mac OS X Tiger. Here is an example of what I am trying to do.
