Joh #1 / 9	tiny question on format of scanf and printf I'm ignorant with the format of scanf and printf,say: 1.if source data as 1212,343,54,664,654654,... how to apply scanf to get these data separated by ","? 2. double d1 = 1.9999,d2=1.356,...; printf("%1.2f,%1.2f",d1,d2); results in 2.00,1.36... How to make the floating NOT rounding, like 1.99,1.35? Thanks lots John

Use a comma in the format string. Quote: > 2. double d1 = 1.9999,d2=1.356,...; > printf("%1.2f,%1.2f",d1,d2); > results in 2.00,1.36... > How to make the floating NOT rounding, like > 1.99,1.35? Surest way is probably to use the floor() function to truncate the value (some thought needs to be given as to how you want to handle negative numbers. printf("%1.2f,%1.2f", floor(100.0d1)/100.0, floor(100.0d2)/100.0);

Some thought also needs to be given to numbers that are already at the required precision. For instance 1.21 might be internally stored as 1.20999945 because of floating point errors, and would this print out as 1.20 instead of 1.21.

Couldn't you get around neg numbers with fabs() and then re-neg it if it was a neg number? Quote: > Some thought also needs to be given to numbers that are already at the > required precision.

Joh #6 / 9	tiny question on format of scanf and printf Thank you. but how about the following case: int a,b; char c; if the format is scanf("%d,%d,%s) and the contents in string-data may contain "," , like 1,2,this is a comma,not separatro,3,4,again how can I let the scanf know that "," is a separator or not? surpose the source-data can be modified, like I can insert "\" before "," which is real a comma in the same data-field.

You can do the following: scanf("%d,%d,%s", &a, &b, c); assuming that you have allocated memory to c. Note that the "," can be changed to other characters to suit your input format. I would actually prefer: scanf("%d,%d,", &a,&b); fgets(c, buffer_length, stdin); where buffer_length is the length of the "c" array. This will avoid buffer overflow. Sean

Did you consider curing your ignorance by reading the relevant chapter(s) from your favourite C book? Quote: >2. double d1 = 1.9999,d2=1.356,...; > printf("%1.2f,%1.2f",d1,d2); >results in 2.00,1.36... >How to make the floating NOT rounding, like >1.99,1.35? You have to perform the truncation yourself, before submitting the values to printf. Dan -- Dan Pop DESY Zeuthen, RZ group

Vidit Ja #9 / 9	tiny question on format of scanf and printf you can use the "strtok" function to extract the tokens from the string. just check for the last character in the token if it is the special character that you have defined, for example in this case as '\'. If it is the case, combine it with the next token.
