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);
         }
