 cscanf()                Read Formatted Data from Console

 #include <conio.h>

 int        cscanf(format-string[,argument...]);
 char       *format-string;              Format control string

    cscanf() uses getche() to read characters from the console and stores
    the data read in the locations given by 'argument'.

    cscanf() uses the same format-string and arguments as the scanf()
    function.  Both format-string and arguments are explained in detail
    in the description of scanf().


    Returns:    The number of fields converted and assigned with success.
                If a field was read but was not assigned, it is not
                counted.  If the return value is EOF, an attempt was made
                to read at the end of the file. If 0 is returned, no
                fields were assigned.

 Portability:   Applies to MS DOS only.

 ------------------------------ 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);
           }
