Hi,
     I am running into problems when I mix floats and integers in sprintf.
        1.  How it is handled normally ?  [Do not use "f" in sprintf ?
            multiply by 10 and divide by 10 ?]

Thanks .

main ()
{
  char buf[90];
  int i,j;
  double k;
  sprintf(buf,"%.4d%07.2f%.4d",45,445.34,1234);
  printf("buf  = %s\n",buf);
  sscanf(buf,"%4d%7f%4d",&i,&k,&j);
  printf("i = %d  j = %d  k= %7.2f",i,j,k);
}
------------ output of the above program ----------------
buf  = 00450445.341234
i = 45  j = 1234  k= 8840025108807417000.00
