cscanf() Read Formatted Data from Console
#include <conio.h>
int cscanf(format-string[,argument...]);
char *format-string; Format control string
cscanf() reads data from the console and stores it in the locations
given by 'arguments'. 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);
}
