How to use sscanf in loops?
Solution 1:
Look up the %n conversion specifier for sscanf() and family. It gives you the information you need.
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
char line[] = "100 185 400 11 1000";
char *data = line;
int offset;
int n;
int sum = 0;
while (sscanf(data, " %d%n", &n, &offset) == 1)
{
sum += n;
data += offset;
printf("read: %5d; sum = %5d; offset = %5d\n", n, sum, offset);
}
printf("sum = %d\n", sum);
return 0;
}
Changed 'line' to 'data' because you can't increment the name of an array.
