fscanf
Converts formatted input read on a file
Calling Sequence
[v_1,...v_n]=fscanf (file,format)
Arguments
format
Specifies the format conversion.
file
Specifies the input file name or file number.
Description
The fscanf functions read character data on the file specified by thefile argument , interpret it according to a format, and returns the converted results.
The format parameter contains conversion specifications used to interpret the input.
The format parameter can contain white-space characters (blanks, tabs, newline, or formfeed) that, except in the following two cases, read the input up to the next nonwhite-space character. Unless there is a match in the control string, trailing white space (including a newline character) is not read.
- Any character except % (percent sign), which must match the next character of the input stream.
- A conversion specification that directs the conversion of the next input field. see scanf_conversion for details.
