Dear all:
Below is the error program I write.
char cTemString[3];
......
unsigned char uValue;
.....
fgets(cTemString, 3, fIn);
printf("before sscanf ftell=0x%lx\n",ftell(fIn));
sscanf(buffer,"%x",&uValue);
printf("cTemString = %s\n",cTemString);
printf("uValue in decimal is %d and in hex is 0x%x\n",uValue,uValue);
printf("after sscanf ftell=0x%lx\n",ftell(fIn));
And below is the correct one
char cTemString[3];
......
Int uValue; //I only change the uValue type
.....
fgets(cTemString, 3, fIn);
printf("before sscanf ftell=0x%lx\n",ftell(fIn));
sscanf(buffer,"%x",&uValue);
printf("cTemString = %s\n",cTemString);
printf("uValue in decimal is %d and in hex is 0x%x\n",uValue,uValue);
printf("after sscanf ftell=0x%lx\n",ftell(fIn));
Questions:
1. Does any document or standard say scanf cannot use "unsigned char" as format?
2. If it is really so, why using the wrong format for scanf will effect the file token?
Will this error destroy the whole file parameters?
Someone help me, thanks.
Sincerely Yours,
cckuo

Hmm... interesting. The only reason i can think of is probably since
you have the string of 3 characters (bytes) and you dont know what the
4th byte is .... while with %x i guess it is trying to fill 4 bytes in
the integer. But again just a guess.... you can try to make sure that
the input string to sscanf is of 4 bytes with all the extra space
initialised as null and only the first two characters contain the
data.
Hope that helps.......
