[Ernis456]

Note however that the .so file hasn't been updated yet

so it means update dont work with Linux ? If yes when you update it ?

Read the entire paragraph!

Edit: Now it has been thanks to Calg00ne.

anyway thanks for the fix, il update my plugin soon

You won't if your leveraging of sscanf2 are simplistic with a minimal specifier count. You start to notice strange occurrences when you have specifiers of 40-50 fields of varying patterns.

As for "large number", care to elaborate? I know that quiet sections after the final parameter give a warning that there are insufficient parameters when there aren't and that name detection could be better, but that's it. If there are more please say - I can only (possibly get round to) fix what is reported!

I've sent you PMs and made posts earlier in this thread regarding oddities when you have a specifier, for example, s[32]ds[32]. The last string specifier will ALWAYS return a warning despite there being no ending quiet section. This was the most glaring bug. My server on startup gets a nice huge flood of warning messages because of it.

Oh, OK sorry. Those bugs are on my list of things to sort out, but as you said they're not high priority because sscanf still works.

I'm also waiting for arrays in enums support .

Most waited feature, of all time <3

That is just hard to do, both enums and arrays take a lot of code (check the source - they each have separate files).

And of course sscanf is open source for this reason - if you want something, add it!

Hey Y_Less, I've a suggestion about the escaping symbol(backslash).
I think such kind of symbols in the string will affect the ordinal use.
For example, someone wants to type a command like "/pm 0 /_\" as I said,
while some will want to send a string with spaces like "/buycar Streak\ Trailer 1 1".

I hope the escaping function will be changed as one of the parameters.
Let's say the new parameter is "x", and its usage is:

sscanf("hello world ! 1234567","x<3>[128]d",string,number);

the "<3>" means it will read 3 string parameters while "[128]" is the buffer size.
However players cannot do things like "/buycar Streak\ Trailer 1 1" again as the function goes server side.

Another method. I guess if a new string parameter can be added such that it will not recognise the backslash function.
Again, let's say "x" is the new parameter and it usage is:

sscanf("Hello\ world\ ! 1234567","s[128]d",string,number);
sscanf("Hello\ world\ ! 1234567","x[32]x[32]x[32]d",string2,string3,string4,number2);

Note that "[32]" is the buffer size(Just like the "s" parameter).
Here "string" will be "Hello world !" while "string2" is "Hello\","string3" is "world\" and "string4" is "!".
Adding such parameters will solve the backslash problem I think.

[Y_Less]

If you want a backslash use "\\" like in PAWN and many other languages.

We know it's hard, but you have already did some stuff thath no-one even imagined that it's possible in sa-mp :}
