Example
// crt_snscanf.c
#include <stdio.h>
int main( )
{
char str1[] = "15 12 14...";
wchar_t str2[] = L"15 12 14...";
char s1[81];
wchar_t s2[81];
int i;
float fp;
i = _snscanf( str1, 6, "%s %f", s1, &fp);
printf("_snscanf converted %d fields: ", i);
printf("%s and %f\n", s1, fp);
i = _snwscanf( str2, 6, L"%s %f", s2, &fp);
wprintf(L"_snwscanf converted %d fields: ", i);
wprintf(L"%s and %f\n", s2, fp);
}
Output
_snscanf converted 2 fields: 15 and 12.000000 _snwscanf converted 2 fields: 15 and 12.000000
