sscanf fails with %ud

[bartoli]

I have basically this code :

char someVar[] = "11.1.0";
unsigned int m_Index;
int bit1,bit0;
sscanf(someVar,"%ud.%d.%d",&m_Index,&bit1,&bit0);

With "%d.%d.%d", sscanf parses my 3 arguments
But with "%ud.%d.%d", sscanf returns 1 and only the first variable is correctly parsed

Any ideas?

The code is %u, not %ud. %ud is failing because it's treating %u as the code, then is looking for a literal 'd' character in the source string, which it doesn't find.

Ah, stupid me, thanks !

You could also use strtoul ( http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/cstdlib/strtoul/ )
