cscanf() Read Formatted Data from Console
#include <conio.h>
int cscanf(format-string[,argument,...]);
const char *format-string; Format control string
cscanf() reads from the console and stores the data read in the
locations specified by 'argument'. getche() is used to read the
characters.
The format string and arguments for cscanf() are the same as those
for scanf(). See the description of the scanf() function for a
detailed explanation of the format string and arguments.
Returns: The number of fields that were successfully converted
and assigned; a field that was read but not assigned
is not counted in the return value. A return value
of EOF means an attempt was made to read at the end-
of-file. A return value of 0 means no field were
assigned.
-------------------------------- Example ---------------------------------
The following statements print a prompt, wait for input in the form
of two strings, and verify the input by printing out the contents of
the strings.
#include <conio.h>
int result;
char buffer1[15], buffer2[15];
main()
{
cprintf("Enter your name:");
result = cscanf("%15s %15s",buffer1, buffer2);
cprintf("\nEntered: %s, %s\n",buffer2, buffer1);
}
