Hi.
I was wondering if anyone knew off hand how picky a read-in is using the
sscanf method in c.
I am running VC++ 6.0, and the line I would like to read in looks like 
00000000:   00700012  000071111 080A0400  00000008  
I can't find in any of my books how picky a sscanf is, and i was hoping
that I don't have to worry about the spacings of the values, or the semi colon.
my line would be
sscanf(strOneLine,"%x  %x %x %x %x\n", &Data.Reg[i], &Data.Reg[i+0x08],
&Data.Reg[i+0x0F], etc, etc, )
but i dunno if the sscanf will rewad in the colon and try to interpret it
as a number or not.
thanks for the help.
