Hello People,
What does the %.*s do? Some told me to use it when i need to make a text that if it will be more than 80 words it will create a second line with the second half of what the person wrote....
But what does the %.*s do?
Thanks for helping and have a good day!

I randomly read this as I wanted to go to the 0.3.7 boards and thought "That would be the most awesome thing ever", but no,
At least in C it's sort of an extra argument lenght limiter:
Quote:
It prints N number of characters from a target string :
printf("%.*s", 5, "=================");
will print =====

And following that reasoning it wold be the same as doing
%.5s; it does not split anything and you need an extra function for that.
