Okay, I looked at the info for cscanf() and scanf() then followed up with
hits I got from two different search engines with the keyword "cscanf".  I
saw 15 to 20 examples which led me to this question:

Using cscanf(), if I wanted to get someone to enter a phone number into
"(   )   -    " I'd have to use 3 different variables and concatonate them
together?

I also desire to be able to get a decimal number that would fill in from the
right until a decimal point was keyed.  Then it would fill in from the left.

ex: for the number 1234.56

(on screen)    (was keyed)
__,___.__      [blank format]
__,__1.__      [1]
__,_12.__      [12]
__,123.__      [123]
_1,234.__      [1234]
_1,234.__      [1234.]
_1,234.5_      [1234.5]
_1,234.56      [1234.56]

Can scanf() do that?

I'm sorry if I'm asking too many questions but I honestly cannot find the
answers anywhere else.

Thank You In Advance
