Scanf.c saves characters to oblivion when doing %*s or %*[...] Here's the change in scanf.c : string: if (!F.haveWidth) F.fieldWidth = INT_MAX; if (!F.suppress) s = va_arg(arg, char *); for (; c != EOF; c = getc(fp), ++nread) { --F.fieldWidth; if (!testbit(c)) break; F.valid = TRUE; > *s++ = c; if (F.fieldWidth == 0) goto endstring; } ungetc(c, fp), --nread; string: if (!F.haveWidth) F.fieldWidth = INT_MAX; if (!F.suppress) s = va_arg(arg, char *); for (; c != EOF; c = getc(fp), ++nread) { --F.fieldWidth; if (!testbit(c)) break; F.valid = TRUE; > if (!F.suppress) > *s++ = c; if (F.fieldWidth == 0) goto endstring; } ungetc(c, fp), --nread; --- James McCartney --- Univ. of Texas Astronomy
