printf() and scanf()

[homeyg]

I'm trying to learn the Win32 API and I've realized I should have started with C instead of C++ and I was wondering if someone could point me to a tutorial (or anything, even like a reference page) that teaches every aspect of using printf() and scanf(). I basically know how to use them, but I was looking through some code someone had posted in this forum and was like, huh? To be more specific, here is the exact code:

fscanf(f, "%[^\t]\t%d\t%c\n", p[num].cprnr, &p[num].prio, &p[num].skade)

I'm confused about what the bold blue print means - it's supposed to be inputting a string but I've never seen that before.

The scanf family is an interesting beast. One of these days I may understand it fully. Until then I try very hard to use references to understand what I can. Here's one:

A short version of that might be to look for a string delimited by a tab character and write as many non-tab characters (and a terminating null) into the string corresponding to this directive.
