Hi

I've written an application and want to be able to read in a configuration
file such as

1.0    #Displacement along x axis
0.0    #Displacement along y axis
0.0    #Displacement along z axis

where everything beyond # is to be ignored in the read command. The program
reads in the values fine if I remove my comments but I could do with them
for making changes to the config file later. At the moment I use fscanf()
for the obtaining the values I want - is there any way I can get it to jump
to the next line in the file once its read in one floating point value?

Thanx

Steve
