Thread: sscanf and decimals

Hey,
I'm using sscanf to read from buffer into int and double variables, but it doesn't recognise the decimal numbers.

Code:

fgets(line, sizeof line, inp);
check = (sscanf(line, "%s %d %d %f %d %d %f %f", dl.Param, &dl.Label,
                   &dl.SFactor, &dl.SigBits, &dl.Bit30, &dl.Bit31, &dl.Max, &dl.Min)); 

// and

	CString Param;
	int Label, SigBits, Bit30, Bit31;
	double 	SFactor, Max, Min;

if I have line = " FUELFLOW= 160 0.5 16 1 1"

check returns 3 when I'd like it to return 6. How can I make it read in the 0.5 all together into SFactor?

Use the directive(s) that correctly corresopnd to the data type(s).

and I thought there was something wrong with the way sscanf works. I've spent way too much time on this project, and I don't pay attention to the details as much as I should anymore.

Sorry for the stupidity.

Thanks,
