sscanf question

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

Code:

---

while((sscanf(myString, "%s", anotherString)) != EOF){
.
.
.
}

Thanks

sscanf never returns eof, it returns the count of
variables it managed to scan in.
Try

Code:

---

while (sscanf (......) != 0)
{
.
.
.
.
}

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

Code:

---

int pos = 0;
char *p = myString;
while ( sscanf( p, "%s%n", anotherString, &pos ) == 1 ) {
    // do stuff
    p += pos;  // advance p
}

---

%n tells you how many chars sscanf() processed

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...
