Read from specific cell in csv file

[Adidas82]

Hi 

Im trying to read from cell #14 (means collum #14 ).

Is there a quick way to read only this cell?

Or do I need to read all the cells before him?

tnx.

Adi.

I think this depends a bit on what you call 'read'...

If you are reading a file this is a sequential process so you need to read all lines and all columns up to the desired one.

You can sort of hide part of this process by using a scanning function such as ScanFile () or fscanf () which may return only the desired value.

You are right...
I should have written more details...
These r the functions i use :
FileOpen
FScanf
My question is how to use fscanf (what the syntax if exist) so pull only the context in this cell (#14 in this metter)?
I dont need to use the first 13 cells...
Tnx .

This is an example for column 4...

You can test it in the Interactive Execution Window

#include <ansi_c.h>    

static float result4;

sscanf ( "1.0 2.0 3.0 4.0", "%*f %*f %*f %f", &result4 );

printf ( "%f", result4 );

Thanks Wolfgang! You opened me a new world with that asterisk flag! Till now I was always using Scan when I needed to discard part of the scanned string!

Here's where a good basic C course -which I'm missing- comes in handy

Had to adapt it to 14 cells, and to strings\int\double veriables...

but it worked 🙂

tnx !!
