Y_Less,

Was this code fix integrated with the sscanf.zip available for download in the first post of this thread? I did a diff against this and the specifiers.cpp that comes with it and it appears not.. though I've see you've made modifications to the main post.. so.. I'm lost. Which is correct?

Could I use SSCANF to find an IP in some text? I was thinking something like this:

sscanf(string, "d'.'d'.'d'.'d':'d")

would that work? and if not could someone give me something that will :P

Yes you can use sscanf to detect IP information in text. No, your example will not work.

"p<.>dddd"

That should do it.

what does p represent?

delimiter

[Y_Less]

I had some clever way in which "p" meant delimiter - "p"adding, or "p"artition or something, but I can't remember what it was.

Anyway, I've confirmed that the code in the first post is not the latest version, however I believe the binaries are.

Edit: I've now got my Linux box nicely up and running and I've added sscanf to SVN there. I'm still working on getting a post-commit build running (hopefully cross-compile for Linux/Windows) but I know it does build for Linux. If anyone would like SVN access just say.

Also, did other Linux users use a custom build file for this? I had to add "-fPIC" to the compile flags to get it to work, am I missing something or was the build script missing something?

Are you running a 32 or 64bit version of linux?

I'm testing this, but I thought I would ask anyway. I'm trying to have an optional specifier return 'playerid'.

CMD:something(playerid,params[])
{
     new target;
     sscanf(params,"U(playerid)",target);
     {
         ...
     }
     return 1;
}

I have not put the sscanf command in an 'if' statement because it doesn't seem nescessary.
I have a simple workaround for this if it is incorrect, but I like the idea of saving a line or two of code.

This should work

CMD:something(playerid, params[])
{
    new otherId;
    if(sscanf(params, "ui", otherId)) return SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR, "/something[playerid]");
    SendClientMessage(otherId, COLOR, "Message to otherid");
    return 1;
}
