I didn't put them in, as it didn't seem like anyone was developing with DOS
anymore, but was just using it to compile old code.

Well, I am developing DOS/DOSX applications. Although the vscanf
functions are not critical for me, I always hope DMC continues to keep
the DOS compiler updated to the latest standards.

It's good to know someone is! (And you can add vscanf by just compiling the
source for it on the CD and inserting it into the library.)

Speaking of ssanf/vscanf, this little program doesn't print
*anything*.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main (void)
{
  char host[512], path[256];

  sscanf ("some.host.com/foo/bar", "%512[^\n/?]%[^\n]", host, path);
  printf ("host `%s', path `%s'\n", host, path);
  return (0);
}
--------

It seems to parse beyond the input string or exit inside sscanf().
sscanf ("some.host.com/foo/bar\n"..) works as expexted, but why
should the '\n' be required?


dmc scanf.c


link scanf,,,user32+kernel32/noi;
