Formatted Input
scanf
This SSI function reads a string passed from an object in a HTML form, interprets
the string according to the specification in format, and stores the result in the Out-
put (OUT) area according to the passed arguments. The formatting of the string is
equal to the standard C function call scanf().
Syntax:
<?--#exec cmd_argument=’scanf(ObjName, format,
Arg1,..., ArgN), ErrVal1,..., ErrvalN’-->
ObjName The name of the object with the passed data string
format Specifies how the passed string shall be formatted
Argn Specifies where to write the data
ErrValn Optional; specifies the value/string to write in case of an error.

0(zero)) or hexadecimal (leading 0x or 0X)

x Hexadecimal number (with or without leading 0x or 0X); byte,

acters large enough for the string and a terminating “\0” that will
