Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-11-17 00:53:32] paul79@optonline.net Not sure if this was already considered, but I didn't see it documented anywhere and thought it would be nice to have. It doesn't state in the documentation about the maximum length of the string being read can be, nor do I know what it currenly is. I think it's 1024. I have a line in a file that's 1630 characters long. When a run the program with fscanf, it obvisouly doesn't read the whole line. For instance: list($v1, $v2) = fscanf($pt, "%[^|]|%[^\n]\n"); The "\n" is never reached and the program breaks. There is a work around, which would be to substitute the fscanf with something like: split("\|", fgets($pt, 8026)); So, I guess what I'm getting at is, is it at all possible to: a) add a length the read to fscanf or b) update the documentation to show this limitation Thanks For Listening, Paul ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=20460&edit=1
