Hello world,

I want to read the field width of a input format string. eg from "%5s" I want
to read 5. I'm using the following C program written with Lattice C 5.02

#include <stdio.h>

main()
{
	int n,field_width;
        char string[]="%5s";
        
        n=sscanf(string,"%%%ds",&field_width);

	printf("n=%1d,  field_width=%d\n",n,field_width);
}


The sscanf isn't working correctly. When I use the format string "%%ds" it is

        n=sscanf(string,"%%ds",&field_width);

Is this a bug from Lattice c 5.02 ? and is it fixed in 5.04 ?
