I noticed that V8.39 has added the vscanf functions, but they are missing from the DOS libraries. Will they be added?

I didn't put them in, as it didn't seem like anyone was developing with DOS anymore, but was just using it to compile old code.

Well, I am developing DOS/DOSX applications. Although the vscanf functions are not critical for me, I always hope DMC continues to keep the DOS compiler updated to the latest standards.

It's good to know someone is! (And you can add vscanf by just compiling the source for it on the CD and inserting it into the library.)

Speaking of ssanf/vscanf, this little program doesn't print *anything*.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main (void)
{
  char host[512], path[256];

  sscanf ("some.host.com/foo/bar", "%512[^\n/?]%[^\n]", host, path);
  printf ("host `%s', path `%s'\n", host, path);
  return (0);
}
--------

It seems to parse beyond the input string or exit inside sscanf().
sscanf ("some.host.com/foo/bar\n"..) works as expexted, but why
should the '\n' be required?

link scanf,,,user32+kernel32/noi;

with DMC 8.39
