Thread: sscanf ?

Dear All

I am trying to use sscanf() function to read a string and assign two double which are separeted by comma to two different variables. Code part is in the following.

Code:

long double T,V;
string tmp1="2.4E-09,-0.007000001";
 sscanf(tmp1.c_str(),"%13.15f,%13.15f",&T,&V);
cout<<T<<" "<<V<<"\n";

it gives :
2.51292e+3273 -0.6614e-2303

What is the problem?

I would be pleaed if you could help.

thank you

You seem to have incorrect format flags for sscanf. It doesn't seem to accept the width specifications and "f" is for float. What worked correctly for me (replacing long double with long) is

Code:

int main()
{
    double T,V;
    string tmp1="2.4E-09,-0.007000001";
    sscanf(tmp1.c_str(),"%lf,%lf",&T,&V);
    cout<< setprecision(13) << T<<" "<<V<<"\n";
}
