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);
}
