Re: scan from string / minus

This is the correct answer. %f interprets only numbers and either "," or "." depending on what your system uses as a decimal seperator. If you want both numbers, you need to use a format specifier of %f-%f which tells the function to get two numbers seperated by a "-". This will return two value
