[comp.lang.c] proper form for fscanf

lharris@utgpu.UUCP (11/21/87)

Could someone please help !..
How does fscanf actually work when assignment is suppressed with the "*"
character.  Does it still return the number of matched or assigned elements.
I'm having trouble detecting EOF when using microsoft C ver 3.00 and using
the function fscanf and I get the error "null pointer assigned" although
there are no assignments made in this scanf.
thanks
