From: cher AT ispras DOT ru (Alexander Chernov) Subject: scanf "%n" format specifier is not supported 22 Jun 1998 12:36:05 -0700 Message-ID: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII To: gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com Hello, This looks like a missing feature: "%n" format specifier in sscanf is not supported. For example, the following piece of code left variable n value as 0 instead of 2. According to my textbooks ANSI C specifies %n specifier. #include #include int main() { int v = 0, n = 0, r = 0; r = sscanf("32", "%d %n", &v, &n); printf("v = %d\nn = %d\nr = %d\n", v, n, d); return 0; } Regards, Alexander - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
