If it wasn't for English, you Indians mostly couldn't talk to each other. D'Oh! | :doh:

thanks my optimistic philospher.
you work full time on this board and are getting paid for the sh*t u speak.

If you spent half the time working on your problem than you do hurling insults, you probably would answered your own question hours ago.

5!

It doesn't get much faster than Googling so get used to it. If you had a clue, you'd have had your answer before you could post here.

I'm not quite sure what you've done to annoy CPallini... but he has my trust, so I assume you deserve the long flamewar above this post.

But *I'm* in a good mood...

I would not use the sscanf function at all for this.

One, the tabs / spaces are delimiters. In which case, read a line of text in, then use your favourite string classes Find function to get the next whitespace. Then parse the next up to that point. Delete the text you've parsed, and repeat.

OK, once you've broken the long line into stringlets, then you can use sscanf if you like!

Good luck,

Iain.

I love you, man (expecially with the warrior outfit). Smile | :)

Since he moved to Sweden, does that involve a big helmet with horns? Laugh | :laugh:

And yes, I know the Vikings didn't actually wear those but they're cool anyhow. Cool | :cool:

Guess so!

I don't usually check the profiles of people I'm familiar with. Guess we'd better send the word out that a raiding party is on the way. Laugh | :laugh:

I'm using sscanf function.

Which means you are using the wrong tool for the job. fscanf() would be used to parse the file, while sscanf() would be used to parse a string read from the file. There is a subtle but big difference. Learn that difference and you'll save yourself many bouts with foot-in-mouth disease.

How do I ensure that I skip the spaces and tabs which could be in randon number.

Is it really that hard to find something like:

char *str = "I  really\tdo \t not  deserve    any\t  help";
char s1[8], s2[8], s3[8], s4[8], s5[8], s6[8], s7[8];
sscanf(str, "%s %s %s %s %s %s %s", s1, s2, s3, s4, s5, s6, s7);

I am writing a adler32 code to compute the adler32 checksum of a string.
On the net I came across various sample codes:
I did not understand some code entirely as <b>it has additional code</b> marked in bold below apart from the basic implementation of the adler32 logic.
I did not understand the addional part as to what is is doing.
Can anybody experienced with adler32 give some hint on it?

The various sample codes are:

//---------------------------------------------------------------------
// WIKI
I understood this code as its the basic implementation of the adler32 logic.
So no doubts in this.

/* Loop over each byte of data, in order */
for (size_t index = 0; index < blen; ++index)
{
a = (a + buff[index]) % BASE;
b = (b + a) % BASE;
}

wweak_cs = (b << 16) | a;

{

s1 += (buf[index+0] + buf[index+1] + buf[index+2] + buf[index+3] + 4*CHAR_OFFSET);
}
for (; index < len; index++)
{
s1 += (buf[index]+CHAR_OFFSET); s2 += s1;
}
rweak_cs = (s1 & 0xffff) + (s2 << 16);
weak_cs = rweak_cs;

Can anybody clear the doubts?

Why do you need the 'additional code' can you just use the basic algorithm?
