i've tried to use strtok but kinda weird in my code

[remote sierra]

;compile

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    int ID, score;
    char name[15] = {0};

    if (sscanf("12#dimwit#100", "%d#%15[^#]#%d", &ID, name, &score) == 3) {
        printf("ID = %d, name = %s, score = %d\n", ID, name, score);
    }
    else {
        perror("Not correctly formatted");
    }
}

Program Output

ID = 12, name = dimwit, score = 100

If the formatting string just read %15s then you'd get a greedy match. You'd read "dimwit#100" as the name.
And as a result, you would not be scanning three parameters and the whole scanf() would fail.
Instead, you need to scan the name up until the first delimiter ('#').

im sorry i don't understand

but this is my code

i tried to make the input from file

then use strtok to seperate the #, but i don't really understand how can i make it store to my struct cause it's a bit random for me from the strtok, so i use mod 3 since there's only strings from each line

then i tried to print it, it so weird

that's the outcome if i just use 1 space bar
