fscanf and new lines

Hi,

Is it possible to manually change line when using fscanf?
sort of like this:

fscanf(inputFilePtr,"\n%c",&inputChar);

And how doest he pointer work, will it point to the first element in my file and then be incremented? If yes, can i manually increment it (inputFilePtr+something)?

What I want to do is to read the first character in a line, if it is a # it is a comment and I will discard that line. Hence my wish to change the line

p.s Is there somewhere where I can look up all the things I can do with a command (as fscanf) so I don't have to ask people all the time.

Consider this FAQ entry on how to read a line. You're best served useing fgets, and after testing the first character, if you want to use the line, use [color=blue]sscanf[/url] to extract what you need.
