Marc, heres some code that seems to understand what it read:


#include <stdio.h>
int main( argc, argv )
int argc;
char *argv[];
{
	int rc = 0, low = 0, high = 0;
	char group[50];
	FILE *in;

	in = fopen( argv[1], "r" );
	if (!in)
		return -1;

	while ( rc != 3 )
	{
		rc = fscanf( in, "%s %d-%d", group, &low, &high );
		printf( "rc: %d, group: %s, low: %d, high: %d\n",
			rc, group, low, high );
		low = high = 0;
	}
	fclose( in );
	return 0;
}

Hope it helps....
	Michael
