Since a string is not a stream how do I get sscanf to traverse the string rather than keep reading the first thing? I want to use the following while loop but because of this problem it goes infinite
ThanksCode:while((sscanf(myString, "%s", anotherString)) != EOF){ . . . }
sscanf never returns eof, it returns the count of
variables it managed to scan in.
Try
Code:while (sscanf (......) != 0) { . . . . }
"Can i really learn this? If i cant, why bother?"
Thats not the problem.
It doesnt traverse the string because it is not a stream. Everytime sscanf is executed, it reads the same thing each time.
Something like
%n tells you how many chars sscanf() processedCode:int pos = 0; char *p = myString; while ( sscanf( p, "%s%n", anotherString, &pos ) == 1 ) { // do stuff p += pos; // advance p }
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
Ok i see why that works but why do I check if it equals 1?

Because I've read the sscanf() manual page, and you haven't...
