Hello,
Thanks for your answer!
You say that sscanf is doing it's job, so the documentation isn't very
clear.
I think it says that the format is equal to sprintf. And sprintf has %010d
in format that says that a var is a number with at least 10 digits, filled
with 0's. So I think that sscanf should do the job!
