examples:

   char Buffer[100];
   int Inteiro;
   char Rest_of_Buffer[60];

   void main(void)
   {
     sscanf(Buffer, "%s %d %[^\n]", First_arg, Inteiro, Rest_of_Buffer);
   }



   you write to Buffer the string -> " hello     13242    !@# garbage   "
this gives you this result:
   First_arg -> "hello"
   Inteiro ->13242
   Rest_of_Buffer ->"!@# garbage   "

sscanf, scanf and fscanf, they are very powerfull functions... special for
shells and parsing...


ps: sorry my english, its not my native language...
