Please elaborate your point. I didn't get your point . <br>I am giving the behaviour of fscanf() function<br><br>It returns the number of fields successfully converted and assigned; the return value does not include fields that were read but not assigned. A return value of 0 indicates that no fields were assigned. If an error occurs, or if the end of the file stream is reached before the first conversion, the return value is EOF for fscanf .<br><br>Let me know if still you have problem <br> <p>Siddhartha Singh<br><a href=mailto:siddhu_singh@hotmail.com>siddhu_singh@hotmail.com</a><br><a href=siddhu.freehosting.net> </a><br>

basic ally i'm reading in a file with a strict layout (it's a 3D object representation) different lines are supposed to have different layouts according to whether it's an object ore a triangle that makes up part of the object.&nbsp;&nbsp;If i encounter an error in the file ie a line with to few entries (eg only two entries for a 3D coordinate) my program should halt and print an error.

Yes then your logic is O.K. <br>Just do one more thing.Don't use & before buf . If it is a string and then check whether it worked or not. <br>if(fscanf(fp, <p>Siddhartha Singh<br><a href=mailto:siddhu_singh@hotmail.com>siddhu_singh@hotmail.com</a><br><a href=siddhu.freehosting.net> </a><br>
