- Ok, this is driving me nuts. Why do I keeps seeing references to the
- use of SCANF and FSCANF? Why would anyone use them or recommend their
- use? Yes it saves one line of code but I see more people running into
- problems they could easily avoid just by using gets and fgets followed
- with sscanf and doing it consistently (Mixing gets, fgets, scanf, and
- fscanf is another problem in itself)! Am I missing something?
