How to read string separated by / with scanf

Question

I`ve been trying to this for quite a while now and after some research I had no success, so my last resort was asking a question. My input looks like this:

1         


        

Answer 1

You already got quite close: you missed to consume the delimiter in your second approach:

scanf("%[^/]/%[^/]/%[^/]/%[^/]", str1, str2, str3, str4);

should do the job.
