Thread: replacing scanf...

friend told me scanf is bad and told me to i need fgets + sscanf to replace it


this is what i have now

Code:

if(scanf(",%ld", &c) != 1 )
	    printError=1;

is this the replacement?

Code:

if (fgets(buffer, BUFSIZE, stdin) != 1){
    sscanf(buffer,"l%ld,%ld", &input1, &input2);
    printError=1;
