Thread: scanf() long input

Hi,

I'm expecting a very long input like up to 1000 values each as big as 1to100 (1 55 100 34 44 etc.). This is how I do it:

Code:

char buffer[4 * 1000];
char *ptr;
char val;
int i;

scanf("%s", buffer);
ptr = buffer;
for (i = 0; i < 1000; i++)
  {
    sprintf(val, "%d ", ptr);
    // update ptr and process val.
  }

Is there any nicer way of doing it. I'm just not used to deal with input from external world as I'm an embedded system programmer.
Thanks for any advice.

scanf() did the job, thanks.
