wrong type?

[bob323]

am i using fscanf wrong, or using the wrong types? I can't get the precision required to capture these numbers, it always chops off numbers, here is what it is reading in:

207.23.53.200 1648.696 0.43913716114060686 1



LoadLine(){
FILE *input;
char cIp [12];
long float iRtt, iPackloss, iUtil;
int iPacketloss;

input = fopen("sampledata1.txt","r");

fscanf(input,"%s %lf %lf %i",&cIp, &iRtt, &iUtil, &iPackloss);
}

[CornedBee]

input = fopen("sampledata1.txt","r");
this should be "rt" or "rb" on DOS/windows

fscanf(input,"%s %lf %lf %i",&cIp, &iRtt, &iUtil, &iPackloss);
%s expects char* to be passed, if you declare cIp as
char[12];
(you actually need 16: 12 numbers, 3 dots and a NUL)
then to get char* you simply write cIp, or &cIp[0], but not &cIp.

Is "long float" a valid type? I think the compiler just ignores the long and create a simple float, which would be the reason why it cuts off numbers: the precision of a float is not high enough to hold 0.43913716114060686 (I think not even double can handle this)
