LT> BTW sscanf() is missing too. perl5 mever had a scanf (or variation) and for good reason IIRC. it was never needed and it has a very nasty api. i hated using it in c because you could never control how much to read and parse and also find out where in the input stream it fails. <> and a regex were always better in p5. so i don't think we need to do it in parrot. in fact with rules/grammars being able to read from a stream, you could code one in that and have it work properly. do any other langs we want to support (other than c) have a scanf flavor in them? uri -- Uri Guttman ------ [EMAIL PROTECTED] -------- http://www.stemsystems.com --Perl Consulting, Stem Development, Systems Architecture, Design and Coding- Search or Offer Perl Jobs ---------------------------- http://jobs.perl.org
