For a project I'm trying to read an int and a string from a string. The only problem is sscanf appears to break reading an %s when it sees a space. Is there anyway to get around this limitation? Here's an example of what I'm trying to do:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
int age;
char* buffer;
buffer = malloc(200 * sizeof(char));
sscanf("19 cool kid", "%d %s", &age, buffer);
printf("%s is %d years old\n", buffer, age);
return 0;
}
What it prints is: "cool is 19 years old" where I need "cool kid is 19 years old". Does anyone know how to fix this?
