Other c functions that are similar to the sscanf function.
Reaching the end of the string pointed to by buffer is. But it has to be in ocaml, ive been reading but i cant seem to find a proper way to do this, what im doing is a card game and in the beginning i want to ask the user of the game, through the terminal, the amount of players that are going to play and thats why i need to scan from standard in.

Reaching the end of the string pointed to by buffer is equivalent to fscanf reaching eof. Ocaml allows c functions to be called from ocaml programs, as long as the programmer follows the instructions in the interfacing c with ocaml chapter of the manual. In case of an input failure, before any data could be successfully read, eof is returned. In the c language, the sscanf function can be used in the following versions.

I have made program in which value is define early l10 printentered value is,l entered value is 10.
This is not enough if we need to write characters, strings and integers in one single file, for that purpose we use fprintf function. The format string is cycled through the file until an endoffile is reached or the amount of data specified by size is read in. The fscanf function reads the data reads the data from file stream and stores the values into the respective variables. A sscanf str,formatspec reads data from str, converts it according to the format specified by formatspec, and returns the results in an array. The formatted input functions can read from any kind of input, including strings, files, or anything that can return characters. Each argument must be a memory address where the converted result is written to. If the input ends before the first conflict or coversion. Or you could check out the stringscanf module on the cpan instead.
