problem reading mixed data...

I can't figure out how to read mixed integer and float data from a text file. I would like to use sscanf if possible but can't figure out how to read in the numerical data.

An example of the file looks like this:

Billy 6.0 8.0
Bob 20 40
Maynard 0.69 0.98
Bubba 0 10
Bunch 1 7


I would like to be able to write the numerical data out to a file in floating point format and ignore the names.

Thanks in advance!

Read it all in as float values. You can use sscanf to safely read and convert "60" into a float just fine.

Do you strictly need to read in ints as ints?

Code:

scanf("%s%f%f", name, &value1, &value2);

Code:

fgets(temp,strlen(temp),stdin);

    sscanf(temp,"%s %f %f",name,&num1,&num2);
