scanf problem

[thomas]

Once I saw some code like this.

---code--
char pid[8];
char url[1001];
char url2[873];
while ( scanf("\"%[^\"]\",\"%[^\"]\",\"%s\n", pid, url, url2) > 0 ) {
//blabla
}
----code---

There are a lot of messy formating things in the scanf call.
While there is only one "%s" input specifier, can it work to fill the
three strings?

%[] is also a conversion specifier.

Good! I've never noticed such usage of scanf. Thanks!
