spaces in input

[mihid]

If I'm grabbing a few double variables from the user with scanf, is there some simple way to accept input with spaces in it? Right now if a number like 1 100 is entered, 1 is stored in double1 and 100 jumps in to double2. I'm wondering how to get 1100 into double 1 even if 1 100 is inputed.

Thanks

How do you know where one double stops and the next double starts, if not by spaces?

If you really want to read numbers that have spaces in them, you would have to read the numbers as strings (and then have some other way to determine where one number ends and the next one starts, as tabstop points out), and then process the string to remove the spaces and convert it to double (you can use for example strtod() as a function to convert a string to double).

I do not know the answer to this question, but: if you are in a place where people type 1 100, perhaps your locale allows this when doing strtod.

If that was the case, I'd expect that scanf would also apply that rule.
