note | Unlike the C programming language, PV-WAVE does not allow the use of an assignment suppression character, which is used to skip over an unwanted input field. |
Conversion Character | How the Data is Imported |
---|---|
c | Transfers character data, one character at a time. |
e, f, g | Transfers double-precision floating-point data with optional sign, decimal point, and exponent. Precede with l for double-precision. |
d or i | Precede with l for long integers on 64-bit UNIX, ll for 64-bit integers on 64-bit Windows. |
o | Transfers octal data. |
x | Transfers hexadecimal data. |
u | Transfers unsigned integer data. |
s | Transfers character strings. |
% | Used in pattern matching to produce a literal % symbol. No conversion occurs. |
Conversion Character | How the Data is Exported |
---|---|
c | Transfers character data, one character at a time. |
e or E | Transfers double-precision floating-point data using scientific (exponential) notation. Use the form [–]m.dddddd e ± xx or [–]m.dddddd ± Exx, where number of d’s is given by the precision. |
f | Transfers double-precision floating point data in the form [–]m.dddddd, where the number of d’s is given by the precision. Precede with l for double-precision. |
g or G | Uses %e or %f format, depending on the magnitude of the value being processed. |
d or i | Precede with l for long integers on 64-bit UNIX, ll for 64-bit integers on 64-bit Windows. |
o | Transfers octal data. |
x or X | Transfers hexadecimal data. |
u | Transfers unsigned integer data. |
s | Transfers character strings. |
% | Transfers a literal % symbol. No conversion occurs. |
