Reading Multiple strings in C programming

[raju39k]

I want to read characters until third period encounters that is reading three strings.

I am using the following code

scanf("%s%,s,%s",str1,str2,str3);

But it is reading only one string

please tell me how to read three strings

See it yet?

Besides, %s will also read commas, so all you'll end up with is one string "abc,def,ghi" in str1

If you want to do (simple) comma separated values, then use this
scanf("%[^,],%[^,],%[^,]",str1,str2,str3);

See your manual page for more details on the %[ format.
