Thread: Getting Input

I have the following code:

Code:

printf("Enter order of matrix A (e.g. 3x5) : ");
scanf("%dx%d", &rowsa, &colsa);

This seperates 3 and 5 into rowsa and colsa when the
user types 3x5

how do i generalise this to any character between two numbers?
i.e., i want it to work when the user types
2y5
2 5
2-4
23-4
23 44

also, if possible...
22--- 44
(more than one space, character in between the numbers)

what you could do is fgets() the input into a string, then extract the first digits into a column array and the second to a row array. Then simply use atoi() to get the integer value.

Anytime.
