copied!<p>Use <code>fgets()</code>, <code>sscanf()</code> and additional code to parse. </p> <p>This parsing would be more robust if the separator (a space) was not allowed in a field. The potential space or spaces within <code>.name</code> convoluted the parsing. Recommend comma separated fields. Further the <code>int n2[10]</code> field is unusual. Why not <code>unsigned long long n2</code>?</p> <p>Be sure to check result of <code>fgets()</code>, <code>sscanf()</code>.</p> <pre><code>#include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> typedef struct ex { int n1; char name[14]; int n2[10]; } ex; int ReadEx(ex *dest) { char buf[20 + 1 + 14 - 1 + 1 + 10 + 2]; // Or use something big like buf[100] if (fgets(buf, sizeof buf, stdin) == NULL ) { return -1; // EOF or I/O Error } char name[14 + 1]; // temp place for name and final space separator int p1, p2; // Offset for beginning and end of n2 array unsigned long long ull; // Dummy to save n2 array if (3 != sscanf(buf, "%d %14[A-Za-z ]%n%llu%n", &dest->n1, name, &p1, &ull, &p2)) { return 1; // format error } // strlen(name) cannot have the value of 0 here as sscanf() is 3 size_t SpaceIndex = strlen(name) - 1; if ((name[SpaceIndex] != ' ') || ((p2 - p1) != 10)) { return 1; // format error, space expected at end of name and 10 digits } // name cannot contain only spaces due to the space before %14 while (name[SpaceIndex] == ' ') { name[SpaceIndex--] = '\0'; } strcpy(dest->name, name); int i; for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) { dest->n2[i] = buf[p1 + i] - '0'; } return 0; // One could use the below approach but it is not so extensible. // if (12 != sscanf(buf, "%d %14[A-Za-z ]%1d%1d%1d%1d%1d%1d%1d%1d%1d%1d %c", // &dest->n1, name, &dest->n2[0], &dest->n2[1], ... &dest->n2[9], &dummychar)) { } </code></pre>
