fscanf Parses input from a file according to a format &reftitle.description; mixedfscanf resourcehandle stringformat mixed... The function fscanf is similar to sscanf, but it takes its input from a file associated with handle and interprets the input according to the specified format, which is described in the documentation for sprintf. Any whitespace in the format string matches any whitespace in the input stream. This means that even a tab \t in the format string can match a single space character in the input stream. Each call to fscanf reads one line from the file. &reftitle.parameters; handle &fs.file.pointer; format The specified format as described in the sprintf documentation. ... The optional assigned values. &reftitle.returnvalues; If only two parameters were passed to this function, the values parsed will be returned as an array.
