Guy, There is no scanf in JAVA. scanf is a C library function. If you're looking for equivalant functionality, then I would recommend looking at the JAVA I/O classes. -Peter

That was the nice thing about c/c++ having easy ways to get i/o unlike java. ------------------ I wish there was a button on my monitor to turn up the intellegince. Theres a button called 'brightness' but it doesn't work

Java does provide plenty of tools to parse input streams, and none of them are as bug-inducing as scanf. On most C and C++ projects I've worked on we've had a "no scanf" rule, as it is just so hard to get right and so easy to crash the system with accidentally wrong input data. Is there some sort of input parsing you actually need to do? I'm sure there are plenty of people here who could help.
I have a free and fully functional Java printf/scanf at: http://www.braju.com/beta/ It is a beta since it requires more testing before I can upgrade it to a full version. However, no bugs have been found. The very stable Java printf only package is at http://www.braju.com/ and that has been up and running since 1997. Cheers, Henrik Bengtsson M.Sc.

This is a very old thread, but it comes up pretty early for anyone looking for scanf type functionality for java. I think MessageFormat is an appropriate way to handle this type of thing The Java Way(tm) (seen here in jython): >>> import java >>> mf=java.text.MessageFormat("{0} days {1}:{2}:{3}") >>> os=mf.parse("1 days 4:20:02") >>> os array(['1', '4', '20', '02'], java.lang.Object)
