Description
SSCanF scans the string S for the elements specified in Fmt, and returns the elements in the pointers in Pointers. The Fmt can contain placeholders of the form %X where X can be one of the following characters:
- d
- Placeholder for a decimal number.
- f
- Placeholder for a floating point number (an extended)
- s
- Placeholder for a string of arbitrary length.
- c
- Placeholder for a single character
The Pointers array contains a list of pointers, each pointer should point to a memory location of a type that corresponds to the type of placeholder in that position:
- d
- A pointer to an integer.
- f
- A pointer to an extended.
- s
- A pointer to an ansistring.
- c
- A pointer to a single character.
Errors
No error checking is performed on the type of the memory location.
