Can anyone tell me a good reason why i might be getting a sscanf
identifier not found error other than stdio.h missing

- it doesnt appear to be a syntax error

No. Do you actually have 'stdio.h' included?

- it doesnt appear to be a syntax error

No, it does not.

Preserve your file (back it up somewhere), remove everything from
that function except the line that gives you the error and some other
stuff for it to work, and then drop all other includes and functions
from that file (IOW, distill it to this line only). Then see if it
compiles. Make sure you only include the headers you need.

could it be problem with my compiler microsoft visual 2005, i have
another sscanf problem which i hope can show me why i keep getting the
identifer not found

#include <stdio.h>
#include <wchar.h>
#include <conio.h>

int main( void )
{
char tokenstring[] = "15 12 14...";
char s[81];
char c;
int i;
float fp;

// Input various data from tokenstring:
// max 80 character string:
sscanf( tokenstring, "%80s", s ); // C4996
sscanf( tokenstring, "%c", &c ); // C4996
sscanf( tokenstring, "%d", &i ); // C4996
sscanf( tokenstring, "%f", &fp ); // C4996
// Note: sscanf is deprecated; consider using sscanf_s instead

// Output the data read
printf( "String = %s\n", s );
printf( "Character = %c\n", c );
printf( "Integer: = %d\n", i );
printf( "Real: = %f\n", fp );
getch();

}

 

[GrispernMix]

this program is not working either

 

[GrispernMix]

IT WAS THE DEPRECIATION!!!!!! pardon my loudness, but the sscanf was
fixed with a mere sscanf_s

nm it didnt work

This is non-standard.

int main( void )
{
char tokenstring[] = "15 12 14...";
char s[81];
char c;
int i;
float fp;

// Input various data from tokenstring:
// max 80 character string:
sscanf( tokenstring, "%80s", s ); // C4996
[...]
}

If I remove 'getch', it compiles fine here. There must be something
in your project settings. If you need to find a solution specific
for VC++ v8, post to 'microsoft.public.vc.language' where you can name
the compiler settings (off-topic here). I bet folks there can help.

<OT>
VC++ v8 does report 'sscanf' as "deprecated" (for whatever reason),
but compiles nonetheless. Could it be you have all warnings treated
as errors? Add [#pragma warning] to ignore it.

You just three messages that make no sense, as you didn't provide any
context. See the information below.
