This code looks vaguely familiar ... someone else was asking about a similar problem a couple weeks ago.

Same person. Still using sscanf() for validation, even though you provided him an alternative!

DavidCrow wrote:

I thought about this (i.e., using an int), but since he was storing the input string for later processing, I left it as a string.
